Default Mice in my Fooookin Cossie!! (Updated)

Yep uncovered the Saff to move it today as was meet with the sight of shite loads of chewed up sound dedening all over the floor and mouse shit on the seats.

Look through the car and the mouse or possibly mice have been everywhere, even into the boot, they had made a nest in the glove box and eaten the sweets that had been left in there and the worse bit was looking through the boot only to look up behind the rear seats and the little fooker was sitting there looking at me!!

Good thing is all the electrics seem unharmed and they dont seem to have touched any of the trim.

Car is now all hovered out and most of the food has been removed, just two bits left on each of the traps, that will teach the little foooker.

Just a warning really to anyone that stands there car up over the winter, make sure all your gromets are in the bulkhead and all holes sealed.

I catch about 5 per week in my garage - traps baited with chocolate and peanut butter - they prefer chocolate in colder weather ( below freezing ).

I have about 12 "Little Nippers" always baited in there....

When I got my escos back from the plod compound it was full of RATS not to mention the tons of rat shit all over the thing, took me about 5 hours to clean the interior and under the bonnet, they were nesting behind the dash and chewed the alarm wires, clock wires etc etc and they even shat on the engine heat shield!!! Dirty little vermin!!!! Good riddance and good luck with the rest of the little shites!!!!!
