  • Mice nest in engine

    A mouse must have gotten in my garage, pulled the insulation from the walls, brought it into my engine compartment (warm) and built a little nest out of it. I saw litte mouse crap and a popcorn kernel. No mouse though, must have left. Funny story just thought I'd share it.

    I had one run out from under the cowl on my hood and run across my windshield while I was driving home from school one day. Not only had he managed to get inside there he road all the way to school, sat under the hood all day long, and road home with me. Scared me kinda when I saw a mouse come running out of the cowl while I was driving. He wasn't on the windshield for long though, I was going about 65 when he ran out.

      I had a problem with mice in my garage. Ate through quite a few valuable things to make bedding. I tried leaving the garage open at night to see if they'd leave instead of killin' em. But I think that only attracted more.
      In the end I had to start setting traps since that is the most humane thing. They really go after peanut butter!!! I tried the cheese, like you see in cartoons, but cheese goes bad in a day or two. PB stays good for almost a week. And they really seem to like it. But yeah, I had a total of 7 of them living in my garage before I cleaned them all out. I even caught two in one trap!!! Couldn't believe it.

      I eventually found their home - they were hiding behind the refridgerator during the winter. The heat off the motor kept them warm. Why leave? They had sleeping bags, and blankets to chew up, and an endless supply of bird seed.

          I had a mouse in my '84 for a few months after I bought it... I was driving down the road and it jumped out of somewhere onto my right foot... ran under my seat and I never saw him again... I think he bailed out of one of the vents on the bottom of the car... I later found acorns and insulation in one of the defunct heater ducts.
