Default Re: Can Mice Really Get Into A Sedan or Coupe?

My coupe is happily in its inflated plastic bubble, so no mice in the model A. My '41 Hudson isn't so fortunate - no bubble - so it's protected by a combination of TomCat pellets all around the area where it is stored, and a bundle of mothballs inside. Rodents don't like mothballs and will avoid them if possible. With the TomCat, they might get inside but don't live long enough to do damage, although in the spring I have to look under the seats for their desiccated corpses.

With the Hudson, I thought I had closed up all the holes but mice have managed to get inside anyway. Other than the sealed bubble, I can't think of a way to prevent it other than the steps I mentioned above.
