I went in my glovebox to get a napkin today and found that a mouse had shredded most of them! I know they can get in some really tight places but I wouldn't expect to see them inside the vehicle. Not only that, I drive my car everyday so I would think that would be enough to deter them from living there. I don't have any food in my vehicle nor do I eat in it so I don't know what drew them in. I checked the whole vehicle and didn't find any other traces of them. Someone suggested using peppermint oil on a napking in the glovebox. I want them out of the vehicle completely though! I thought about using some pellets but I don't want a mouse dying up inside my dash somewhere! I have a mouse trap that I'm going to set on the passenger floorboard tonight to see if they are still around. Any other suggestions?

I bait mouse traps in my garage every winter. Napkins are the least of your worries. They can start chewing up your wiring and cause a whole host of problems.

Oh I know. The napkins were just a sign they were in there! I checked all through the vehicle but didn’t find a nest. They got in my Ranger engine bay and chewed the wires to the PCM and fried it!
