Storing car this winter - problem with MICE!!!
Okay, my parents have a problem with mice in their garage. My brother strored his jeep in the garage last winter and the mice pratically destroyed his interior. Got into his intake, in the engine bay, and even made it into the interior, leaving droppings everywhere!
I know there is no way to keep them out of the garage, there comming in thru the roof, but is there anything I can do to protect the car?
I know of the basics, plug the exhaust, and the intake, but are there any products that I can use to keep them out of my car? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Just check the thing every now and again to see if the Fvckers chewed a hole to get inside.

Rep Power: 0 my thought is that mice would chew through almost anything (blanket or car cover), i've heard of people using moth ***** and i've heard that fabric softener sheets work as well but don't smell bad. mouse traps/posion couldn't hurt either.
Man they will chew threw car covers, rugs, towels, wood, anything they feel like getting into. They're crazy! I say just get a whole bunch of those sticky traps and make a perimeter around the entire car. Those ones that they step on and just get stuck to it. Then when you find one kill it and replace the trap.
