We park our cars in the drive way. Rural area.

The mice have in the past eaten a lighting wire in my old car. A friend fixed /soldered it afterRR quoted £600 to replace !

Destroyed my wife’s car BMW 4 twice, this time will cost best part of a grand to put right.

As an aside taken out my lawnmower twice.


Reluctant to use bait boxes because of secondary death/ build up of toxins in owls and other birds we have round and about.

Any suggestions short of putting the cars on bricks. ?


Bill Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

Allegedly, they don't like the smell of peppermint.

I had mice nest in the engine bay of my car, fortunately no damage done. I brushed on a coating of peppermint oil from the baking aisle at Tesco and they haven't been back. 2017 SDV8 Autobiography

Here was the cause of 'dash vibration' - first job on Monday morning, poor little fecker was dead, legs were liberally spread around inside the heater box, not a great start to the week!

A mate of mine used to put a dot of paint on the back of their necks when they were caught in his humane traps, he found he was catching the same ones over & over again. all that varied was the time/distance calculation based upon where he dropped them off...

Agreed Phoenix, they know their territory and head back to home, unless you're releasing them miles away.

Vermin at the end of the day and killing them should be no issue....

I got rid of the mice in my garage with one of them battery powered zappers.
It kills them instantly. Humane?

The rodents’ popularity with predators raises concerns that widespread rodenticide use is causing inadvertent poisonings of native species, particularly birds. The New South Wales Environmental Protection Authority recently issued a warning about improper use of poison-coated grain–for example, its distribution too close to native bushland—after an investigation into bird deaths in central New South Wales found some of the deaths were caused by mouse baits.

The main rodenticide used in agricultural settings is zinc phosphide, which is used to coat grains left out for mice to eat. It turns into deadly phosphine gas in the acid environment of the stomach, but this quickly dissipates and is unlikely to cause secondary poisonings
