Help?

Fri Jun 26, 2009, 7:28 PM
  • Mood: Tired
Since you guys were so great with home remedies for sunburn, here's another request: How the hell do you get a mouse/mice out of a car? I've not seen the bugger(s) just evidence in torn tissue and a shredded jacket lining. I want them out before I see further evidence. Ideas? Please?

Put a cat in the car for a while? I'll check with my mom and give you a better answer asap.

Take a trash can, or other plastic container, small enough to fit in your car but tall enough that he can't jump out. Put a Reese's peanut butter cup in the bottom. Then put it in your car in such a way that the mouse can get in, but can't get out.

This is how I caught them in my home when I had mice living in the linen closet and I caught every one. The key is in the sweet peanut butter in the candy, and then leaving it long enough that the mouse will get brave and try to get at it.

Same as the first comment but use a humane trap and check it reasonably often. You obviously can only use these when the car is parked up but they are very effective.

*has awful images of going for the reese's cup herself*

Worth a shot I guess.

Do I tuck 'em under the hood or what? I figure I can keep them in the trunk at all times...

I think that would go over poorly both with the cat and the owner I'd have to nick the cat from ;)

Where are the mice most of the time, where is the most evidence because wherever that is stick 'em there.

Sound like good tips to me so far. I wouldn't have the foggiest myself. Good hunting, girlfriend!
