@CSK,

Make sure you do a visual sweep after you park your car and before you zipper it up. The brown and black mice can easily run in and go un noticed in the showcase. After you seal it up, they'll have nothing to eat (sadly) but the harness you are having replaced. Good luck.

Oh there's no car bubble in my future.

I'm just going to place some d-CON by the door and probably back where I store my lawn and garden equipment.

I have 2 mousers but they rather chew on spiders and centipedes.

Simple fix_ just add a small sign where you park your car " No Mice Allowed" that'll do it

Wife came downstairs the other day to a dead mouse in the middle of the front foyer.. cats got him during the night and destroyed the house.. bottle of open wine knocked over, two lamps shattered, area carpets all over the place... I have a recording of her on the Nest camera screaming when she saw it. Classic. We have never had a mouse in the house before. Our biggest problem is snakes in the garage and them damn gekko's that get in the house. Cats get them all.

Our pest control company put down some sort of food source in the garage (think its the red pellets) and we have seen nothing in there ever.

Problem with the d-CON is it kills all 4 legged small critters, including squirrels, chipmunks, cats, etc. I like your bubble idea though, until you get a garage built.

The mistake you made was to ask for permission instead of begging for forgiveness.

Let's hear the audio

Apparently we only paid for the 7 day cloud service.. my wife was soooo happy... I am thinking of upgrading to the 30 just because of this. I was in Boston on business anyway, so I logged on while she was telling me on the phone and listened.. should have created the clip right then and there.

i had mice issues in the front by the gas tank. They ate up part of the insulation and it was rattling around. Additionally, I was getting a horrible smell coming from the rear by the engine vents. Turns out they found the cowling area a nice place to go #1 and #2. When the car got warm, the feces melted and dripped onto the engine. Replacing the insulation in the front was under warranty and the rear was $200.
