Our OB had an unfortunate encounter with rodents. As it sat one summer, mice or rats chewed into the wiring in the rear. A small electrical fire ensured some time later.

BTW, did you ever consider that the mouse was hitchhiking and that you had passed his stop?

I had a related encounter today on a local country road. A bird swooped down in front of me and simply stood in the middle of the road while I drove over it. In an SUV he might have stood a chance, but the shark clipped him. I'm maintaining the suicide front as well.

I have an old RAT storey, I thank god I did not have to deal with the road suprise, there might have been a different surprised suicide victim, that guy was big, black and bold enough to do a taste test throughout my car, fortunately there were no big tastes and he left as I was backing the car out of the garage....cat/mothballs employed but I like the gourmet bounce sheet main course

Rhys, please have the mice nibble the 'ly' out of your thread heading. You've got the whole universe on tilt. I can't eat my vegitables until this is corrected.

I was hoping they were merely a deterent. If not, then I think I might rather use de-con. At least then the mice go off after water and die there. Out of sight, out of mind, right? I'm joking, of course. I'd much rather find something that just makes them go away from my car.

Now, finish your veggies like a good boy. God's in His heaven and all's right with the world.

I was kidding about the bounce. But decon does make them hemorrage internally. It also has a selfpreservative as well, so the dead mouce does not decompose and stink. the best way to get rid of mice is to get rats. they will not live together. To get rid of the rats I would suggest snakes. To get rid of the snakes I would suggest ferrets. Chicks dig ferrets so I'd stop there, though the shark may stink a bit.

Apparently, they hate the smell and it keeps them away. I learned this from a guy in my town who stores vintage Bugattis and Alfas in his barn. In a year, I haven't seen any evidence of mice moving into my car. Of course I just jinxxed myself and a family of rats probably just moved in!
