And mice to not mix.

Yesterday I drove my '57 Wagon. Since it was half way nice outside I took it out for a new hours. Got home about 9pm. Backed the Wagon in the barn and lot & behold a freaking mouse runs across the barn floor. I tried to smash the vermit but it ran off.

Everyone knows cars & mice do not mix.

So I stopped at Wally World after work this morning. Bought some mouse bait and traps. We'll if I catch anything? (which I better)

I'm also going to try dryer sheets cause some posted they used them and it seems to keep the vermits away.

 

Mixing little critters and classic cars can be a disaster. I know someone who had his old Jag XJ6 destroyed (well, at least rendered worthless) by a squirrel. During the course of about 2 weeks, the little bugger completely chewed up all underhood wiring. The cost of rewiring the car far exceeded the car's value.

Mice have infiltrated my attic but luckily not my cars yet. I use a combination of traps and poison to keep them under control. Nothing seems to prevent them from periodically returning though.

 

Aw man! Have you checked all your cars to make sure nothing is in them, no wires chewed up, no carpet damaged? Them critters are bad for a car..... I'd agree. I hope you get them out of there!

 

Hi `R.J,
Below is from E-How, but I've had several of the senior citizens say the same thing...I would try everything to stop them from invading your collection of Super Cars.

Besides the `Mice, I hope life is treating you good & that you got to enjoy driving one of your Classic's.

Keep us updated and let us know `if your murdered the invader's Best of Luck R.J. 4-Sure

Aw man. Hope you get rid of the mice quickly.

I remember someone on here recently showing pictures of his Monte destroyed by squirrels. If I remember correctly, it was a 5th gen. And the squirrels pretty much destroyed all the car's wiring.
