I noticed a lil while ago someone had a cat marking their car. Well, I have a mouse living in my car. Actually, it can pick the leather seats of the 89 or the cloth in the 350. Whatever its little heart desires. How do i get the damn thing out of the garage before it does any real damage to either of my cars??? I saw it one day and tried to kill the lil bastard with a shovel but i couldn't get a good swing at it and I didn't wanna start swinging and hit the car itself. If the mouse does anything to my cars I will hold it in the air and break the damn things neck. *** I hate mice...especially ones with tastes for Camaros.

 

how does it get in the car?

is it a super mouse that can open doors?
just open you garge door and make a big racket, he's sure to run out, if not find where he's hiding and kill it

 

climb through the firewall or something...i got in to drive it out of the garage and it was standing on the passenger door all proud of itself...

 

haha, you should take him in the house as a pet then, if hes so friendly

nah, *** can have him as a pet cuz if i find the mouse i'm going to kill it....i turned the heat on in my 81 camaro and white stuffing flew everywhere....i found corn kernals underneath my top also... i'll break the lil mouses neck, i dont even care about rabies thats house pissed i am

one day, i was washing it and my girlfriend was standing as i was moving my gmc and the thing ran right by her, scared the crap outta her....another time i was cleaning my airbox in my gmc and it was loaded with sunflower seeds and corn kernals up to the filter...when i find it, its going to be one sorry lil mouse

 

mousetrap anyone?

 

yeah i got 2 traps and 2 sticky traps

 

Put a lot of bounce dryer sheets in the car. They are proven to work. I had a mouse in my car one winter and ever since I read that article I put them in and they work. No mice no nothin near my car. It has to be bounce though.

 

pour it a bowl or coolant.

 

That might not be a good idea when he drinks it only to walk off and die in some tiny impossible to get to crevace......

 

rofl, mousetraps... make sure the little bugger doesn't manage to get into the A/C vents cause you'll regret that

 

oh this gets even better, i started and revved the engine and i smelt a weird smell....a lil later i noticed a dead mouse by the battery.....then that night in 2 mouse traps were two dead mice...i have a feeling i got a lot more in there

 

Get them out ASAP. They gnaw on wires under the dash.

 

Use decon damn i hate mice they wont stay out of my engine compartment either.

 

LMAO

 

Yep there all in my 86 C4 Vette. Damn MICE

 

This has to be the only selling point for NOT parking in a garage.

 

ahahaha i laughed so hard when i read that

i had mice in my garage...sticky traps worked but we felt sry for them, and got some cage trap that lets them live and i kept them as my pets

 

I'd put a bullet through its pride...

 

well to keep them out of your car itself
try using MOTH *****
smell like **** but they do the trick......
I had a rat living in my engine bay for a few weeks
and tried eveything to get rid of the fu(ker but nothing worked
every other day i was pulling chicked dones and crap out from under my hood and one day this old lady was walking by and told me to get a plastic cup fill it with moth ***** and just sit it in under the hood after i parked and that it would keep them out

weird i know but it worked !!!

 

its all good, the mousetraps worked wonders...the first day i put them in i caught 3 of them...so far i've got like 7 or 8 and i haven't caught one for days so hopefully they're all gone

 

why dont you just get a cat? we have 3 cats and ZERO mice. youd never have to worry about it again.

btw- my gf hates mice too, shes absolutely terrified of them. lol

 

I just recently started having this problem after i parked my car for 7 months outside. I found some lives ones, trapped them, then used my dads shop vac to suck them up. A few pumps with a bb gun and we grabbed them with a needle nose plyers, then threw them back into the field were they belong.

 

This works, my uncle did it by accident

- park the car in the garage
- close garage door
- start car
- go have a nap (away from the garage, belive me )
- after 30 minutes open garage
- let fumes out
- congrats, you just killed every single thing that lives in your garage
- find corpse

 

lmao sheer genius

 

see thats what i thought as well...

 

Just hope its doesnt die in a close quarter area you know animals like warm places so...................

 

add a couple more steps to that..

-buy 10 air fresheners and put them in car
-let car sit in driveway with windows down for 1 more hour

 

I hate to say it but this is one of the funniest threads I've seen here. 83_camaro's idea should work though.

 

peanut butter on a trap they love that stuff untill Snap........

if you buy rat poison, buy 'Ramix' if you can find it. That stuff works wonders.

 

I've got a problem with squirrels climbing up on my block and 'storing' acorns under there.

Both my TBI right by the thermostat housing and my son's TPI right by the fuel rails.....

As far as mice....I buy DCon rat/mouse poison and leave it out in the garage right next to the doors year round....

I had an 82 Cutlass for @ 14 years and had mice get in to it (parked it under a carport all the time). Just sprinkled a little rat poison on the car itself and got rid of them

 

hmm readin all of this gets me wonderin.. i store my firebird in my grandma's garage n my dad did that bfor me with no problems regarding mice. nver any chewed up wirin, the car has always started n i nvr found ne nuts under the hood. i jus hope i dont get into a can of worms this spring when i do go to start it...

 

Good ***, the 87 has been parked for a long time, and there is a bluejay feeder not 20 feet from it. Bluejay feeders use peanuts.

I'm going to have a look through it tonight and if I find anything, I will open up a can on those squirrels. I'm talkin' set up a trap and wait with my potato cannon loaded and ready to go.

 

i'd worry that the mouse would die in a hard to get to place if you used the carbon monoxide method, like say it died up under the dash or in a duct, then it would deteroriate and smell till you tore it all apart to clean it out

 

Work at vets office...Dr told me that one before...had someone who desepartely wanted to put and anilmal to sleep and could not get to a vet. They put it in a bag and placed by the exhaust pipe in the garage and that was it...

 

You guys arent serious about this method, are you?

 

well, it works n is legal... but im gonna give the bounce method a try bfor i whip that method out

 

yes get them out asap....

they will cause damage i have peronally seen 3 cars with mice dammage..

one totaled a brand new boxter by the ammount of wire damage, one caused 3,000 in jaguar wire dammage, and one i was gonna buy a cavalier for my sister but that also had mice dammage

i say...bomb the car with something...

 

If you all thought i was joking i am serious.....it works, maybe as a last resort but tink of this - smell of exhaust for a day, or a useless car owned by mice you decide

 

i agree with exhaust gas eradication, but if yur not sure if u have mice or not the bounce fabric freshner stuff should b a good alternative

 

When i got my camaro and was takeing it apart to clean it, I found Dozens of Acorn nuts in it, Everywhere!!. Also some nesting under the rear seats. Im still working on it a year later and find more all the time. I hate squriles now.

 

From what I could understand, this sounds like a particularly cruel and unnecessary method of ridding yourself of mice. How about just catching them and releasing them somewhere safe? If you can't do that, at least make their death as quick and painless as possible. Animal cruelty is a sickness... and I'm no hippie. In fact, i go deer hunting. If you kill something, it should be done for a reason and as respectfully as possible.

 

And what, let them come skipping back into your car? Is that what you do with mosquitos? catch them, then release them? dude lighten up, they are vermin not animals. If a mouse had a chance it would kill you too and everyone you love

 

WILLARD, anyone?

 

That is great man

 

Which is exactly why he said "or kill it as painlessly as possible". Selective quoting is a disease around here. And mosquitoes can't feel pain, unlike mice. I guess there will always be meatheaded car enthusiasts when talking about camaros.

 

Thanks for the backup there. My objection is related to how some people get pleasure out of causing pain to animals. It's a sickness. If a creature is self-aware, it generally is capable of feeling pain... particularly those evolved enough to have central nervous systems. A mouse is a mammal last i checked and they certainly feel it when you suck them up with a vacuum, shoot them with a bb gun and grab them with plyers. And the mouse killing me and my family if they had the chance... friggin hilarious

 

Its from the Simpsons when Lisa becomes a vegetarian.
