Lucky for me none of the critters died in the
walls, all of them were on the floor in the garage, and one was in a box of AMC
parts! One however was under the wheel of my Rebel and didn't notice it until
temps got into the 90s. Man, that is ripe. When I DID find it was a little pile
of hair and maggots making tacos. I left the garage door open for two days, but
the smell in there is back to regular old AMC NOS Quadratrac Lube and AMC
Manaual Trans NOS oil again, ahhhh.
There used to be something called 'mouse out' that
advertised in many old car magazines, but don't see them anymore, maybe the mice
bought them out or thier crap didn't work!

Eddie,
What do these poison blocks say about when the little critters crawl
inside a wall to pass away? Worked pest management for 20+ in the AF and a
dead animal in a wall is next to impossible to locate do to the drafts moving
the ODOR. This is why I said traps plus the more you catch the more 'chili con
carne'.
I like the "Irish Spring" idea plus the rondents can bath.

On mice, I recently tried some square things
that are green, and some that are granola colored, they are small squares,
sold at Home Depot to kill mice. I had mice getting in my garage, little
field mice good for maybe a taco. This stuff is unbelieveable and I wished I
knew the name of it, but it killed 7 of them dead as hell. I tried the
sticky glue flat things and those suck. But all the mice are dead and any
others that might have considered coming in have not. Pretty powerful and
impressive stuff. Go to Home Depot and check it out, about 12 squares for
$5.
I have also put bars of Irish Spring in cars
before. Works well but you still will have mice in the area like floor or
rafters. Bes thting about Irish Spring is when you open your car up for
spring cleaning it is strong enough for a man, but made for a woman :~X))

Ralph,
If you can stand it MothBalls work best at repelling rodents( though
a nice fat snake is as good). If you are a country boy in the south then
Bodark apples will do the trick. Personbally I would trap the rodents and
put some of those toilet bowl cakes in the car. rebade1

You
said in your recent post that you got a new car cover for the
Gremmie. Any recommendation on what to look for in a car cover
besides
fit. I don't want another winters dust on the car.
Also, I have put dryer sheets in the interior to keep the
critters out.
Any other suggestions in that regard would be welcome
also, as I have
some mice and ground squirrels that seem to always
end up in my garage.
