The winter before last I found one in my car. It's a project so it is in the garage apart. Anyway, I bought one of those electronic things that you plug into an outlet to get rid of bugs and rodents and put it on an extension cord in the car. I haven't seen one or any evidence of any since.

Had one in my 944 this winter. He'd gone through the radiator and cleaned it of bugs better than I ever could. Ate everything but the wings and legs, which he left in a pile under the car. Then I found his corpse under the DS headlight bucket.

I had a mouse chew through my last new shift boot less than a WEEK after I put it in!

One summer I found a tree frog in the hood vent on my 931, being the humanitarian I scooped him up and put him in the trees before I drove off. I had to do this for two weeks straight.

I think it was Chrenan that told me that dryer sheets placed in the car repels mice. The perfumes in sheets give the mice respritory problems I think. Cool little trick

One summer when I was young, I worked for a temp agency
and we got this job to help an old man clean up his farm.

He had these 2 old skidoo's (Snowmobiles) that wouldn't start.
Just kept flooding & barely turning over...

After taking the entire engine & exhaust apart it became obvious why...

Mice crawled up the tail pipes and made nests in the cylinders
(Two very big cyl's) and us trying to start it kinda ... well.. killed
them...

Hitler woulda been proud... (hope that's not offensive!)

They got gassed real good.
