How To Prevent Mice From Eating Up My 2009 Mazda 3 Sport

[Dannywla51]

It's difficult for me to find a solution as I have domestic dogs living at my vacation home in Phu Khieo, Chaiyapum as this visit this month mice chewed thru my ABS sensors and my spark plug wires in addition to other visible areas. I purchased some glue traps, has other had the same experience and what is one to do to prevent it?

Thats a tricky one. If you have the option to take the car for a daily short ride that would be best. You cannot use rat poison due to the dogs but maybe put some on top of the engine where the dogs can't get to it.

I use the glue traps...but than you have a life one to ...hmmm

[thaicbr]

do you leave your car outside. do you have a car cover? Do you leave your car there permanently?

if so fence the car in so the dogs can't get in or

maybe get a car cover, weight it down so the dogs can not get under it and poison away.

or get rid of the useless dogs and get some cats.

Try placing a tray of moth balls on the engine. They supposedly don't like the smell. Remove before driving.

I was going it suggest this but underneath, the dogs won't bother them either. Another thought is build a small fenced compound around your car with a gate for you to drive in and out and let some snakes inhabit it.. Or like another posters recommends get some cats at least in the cars immediate area, isolate it so the dogs and cats are separated by fence or whatever..

Hi Danny,

I had a problem with mice in the past but I found a way to keep them away.

Make up a mixture of clove oil and peppermint oil then wipe it over the areas that you want protected about once a month.

Mice hate the smell of this mixture and will go nowhere near any surface that has been wiped with this mixture.

To get the ingredients in Thailand is not so easy, so I make mine up by using dried cloves, toothache medicine (the liquid type with cloves in the ingredients) and a peppermint balm (like Tiger balm but with peppermint)

The dried cloves are available at most supermarkets and the toothache medicine & peppermint balm from most pharmacies.

Grind down the dried cloves, add the other ingredients then add about a half liter of boiling water.

Stir well and leave the solution to cool down.

When cool the solution can be wiped onto the surfaces that you want to protect.

I found the idea for the clove oil & peppermint oil solution on Google and since using it I no longer have a mouse problem.

Regards,

Tiger.

Never had any trouble with mice getting to the car since the cat arrived but have 5 more cat's now.

As mentioned cats are the way to go, feed them once a day (not too much) and they will become mousers Another choice may be, feed the mice. The little vermin are hungry, thus they eat wiring, etc.

Cars best friend anyway..

^As for the mice being hungry that's not why they eat wiring, they nibble to sharpen their teeth.. And no need to starve your cat to make it a mouser they do that out of instinct regardless, my cats are well fed and still never pass up the chance to grab a mouse or any other unfortunate critter such as geckos that happens past them, especially the little princess of the house who displays motherly gathering instincts in spite of never having had a litter..

Must add that some plastics are a rats/mice Lobster, even had it back home. And yes have had some munching on some of the Vigo's wiring insulation. A certain kind of plastic is the rats BigMac. Buy some insulating tape and recover the munched bits. Think the problem solved. .

I remember that there was an issue many years ago with either VW or BMW where the timing belt was made of a rubber that attracted mice.After they discovered it they even repaired the damage under warranty and started making the belt in a different kind of rubber.
