*&%$ mice

AlanE · Jul 19, 2017

Saw some weeds and sticks inside left corner of the grill. Thought maybe a bird was building a nest. Pulled all the crap out of there. Next day, everything was back in the grill. So I pulled the parking light and all behind it was jammed with sticks and weeds. Finally ended up pulling the front grill off to clean the whole thing out. Figure it has to be a mouse. Chewed the insulation off the pass side turn lights and side marker. Little F'er no where to be seen.

Looks like I need to do some wiring. Had to tape all these up and for good measure I disconnected the battery. Maybe I'll put a 120v extension through there and let the ******* chew through that.

Man that sucks. Mice ruin everything! Let's hope that f'er never comes back.

Be careful abt the air intake. I had mice climb into the the intake on my burb and quad and they were chewing the intake filter

I noticed that this morning it goes into the fender and back out to the air cleaner. I don't think it is one piece through the fender though is it?

I had the same problem from my truck sitting in the field over winter time and most of the spring,i just went through everything and whatever was chewwed,i used some wire nuts and tape on them(i know,i know,that's what goes inside a house and not an automobile,it's only temporary)

I'm working on a 99 Sub right now that had mouse turds sitting inside the intake's resonator box. No idea how the little ******** got in there, the air filter was snug in place and there's no sign of holes they chewed through.

We just got a pair of cats a few weeks ago to get rid of the damn rats/mice on our property (including the ones having dinner on my engine block). So far so good!

We had field mice eating the wiring in the engine bays, got a cat that loves hunting rats and rabbits, but not interested in birds st all.

Cat seems to be the best solution. I hate rodents with a burning passion for that reason. Good they didn't get in your interior yet or die in your HVAC system somewhere. The mice are probably still there, keep in mind they can fit through something like a 1/4" gap.. Set up sticky traps or other MouseZappers to catch them before they start to breed.. Squirrels are a PITA over here..

My truck currently smells like rat/mouse pee when I use the HVAC system. I'm hoping that clears up now that the cats are keeping the rats at bay.
