I just run it for 10 minutes and the mouse runs under the house, but comes back at night I think. The problem is I can't drive the car for another week while I wait on some parts. It looks like the mouse is only in the engine bay, so I just need to drive car regularly and it will leave. The first two techniques are working there. Peppermint oil is much more potent, so potent if you get a whiff of it, it burns your nose.Īttempt 3: Ammonia- I used the same technique as the peppermint oil soaked cottonballs placed throughout and under, but I did not put ammonia soaked balls in the interior or trunk. I found a post where a guy used peppermint tea bags and the mice used them to build their nest. My interior is minty fresh! I have done a search on this forum about mice. I think being in a sealed space, the smell is super strong, the mouse is staying out. However I am not finding any signs of mice in the trunk or interior. The next day I found even more poop under the headlights. As a result, this is one method for keeping mice and rats away from cars. No sign of mice for 2 days, but after the cedarwood oil residue dissipated, the mouse came back.Īttempt 2: Peppermint Oil+Cedarwood Oil- I did the same as above, but instead of spraying the peppermint oil, I soaked cotton balls with it and placed them stragtegicaly throughout the engine bay, undercarriage, wheel wells, trunk, and interior, and on the ground under the car. Peppermint oil is not appealing to rats and mice. Additionally, don’t keep anything near the car which would attract rodents like (including but not limited to) deer corn, a garage trashcan, and warm areas where they might want to nest. I sprayed down the engine bay with cedarwood oil, as well the wheel wells, trunk, undercarriage, and interior. So in theory you could sprinkle cayenne pepper in the engine compartment and that could keep the rats away. Amazingly, it is also poisonous to rodents and snakes. I have used cedarwood to successfully eradicate, fleas, flies, and roaches. It triggers a danger response in arthropods/insects and causes them to close up their breathing holes and they suffocate. How am I gonna get rid of this mouse? I hosed out the doo-doos and the wee wee.Īttempt 1: Cedarwood Oil- miracle cure for all pest infestations I've had so far. Next day I found piles of mouse poop and puddles of mouse pee in there and down under the engine and back behind the shock towers area. So I banged all over the car and ran it for 10 minutes. I popped the hood, under the headlights was a big fat mouse. Came out to find the dog halfway inside the front air dam. Had the car parked in the garage, covered, came back and moved it back in the driveway.
