I have a thing that plugs into means (bout the size of a rechargeable battery charger) that sends out a high pitched noise and keeps rats and mice away

at work we cought a rat in a trap thats deigned just to trap it and not kill it

then we called rentokill and he shot it through the head with a air rifle and took 5 bullets !!

made a right fucknin mess and the blood clotted to the floor in 1 minuite so it was a right arse to get off even with boiling water

was a bit strange seeing it twitching around with half of its head missing

Try this...

Get an old plastic car mat...put it in the drivers/passengers footwell and set up a standard mousetrap etc, that way it will wipe clean and save your prize motor from any errant mouseblood!

Still doesnt help me after a locked a wee sparrow in my garage for 2 weeks and the ba$tard shat all over my car and tools etc..... Opened the garage to find my car crapped all over and the culprit's corpse at my feet - took me ages to clean my tools!!!!

fpmsl at them pics

get traps, set them up eveywhere in and around the car
you can buy 10 kill to death in an instant traps for the price of one "humane catch the little darling and then figureout what yu are going to do with your new pet" traps

don't put poison down as you'll have to make sure the basatrds don't walk it all over the car, then you'll be catching rat death eerytime you touch the motor

and put bits of twix and kitkat on the traps, apparently it' the best thing for them

I went out to look at my Series 1 and found sound deadening strewn all over the interior, looked over the interior and saw the little coonts have chewn a hole through the MINT rooflining and ripped the sound deadening out.

Now breaking Series 1

You need to get it ASAP mate because if theres 1 there will be another not that far behind.

Once they start breeding that will be your seats Łucked.

I'm getting at least 2 a week from the loft at the moment as there are coming inside for the winter and nesting in the insulation not alot i can do about it really except re-set the traps every time.

As said above use chocolate of some sorts (Qaulity street at this time of year ) as they love that.

Id use the sonic repellent that keeps em away like has been mentioned ealier.If you catch that one and kill it theres no guarantee that there wont be more of em.Just dont leave any ear defenders in your motor though.

I had this a few years ago in another saph i had at the time .......

i was refilling my windscreen washers and had my hand leaning on the strut top ,felt a tickle.......was only a fookin mouse and it went in behind the scuttle panel at the bulkhead i thought FUCK........

little cunts love wrecking cars and all i thought was wiring loom ,lol

set a trap with a chocolate rolo on it ,placed it on the rocker cover put bonnet back down but left it jammed open on top of a torch (give the trap space for movement ,lol)

went into house for a cuppa and popped back out 20mins later ,hey presto .........one mouse with a face like a kicked in piecebox


set the trap in the car and under bonnet for a few nights after that etc and nothing else and no probs


They did eat through a tottally mint condition leather rear bench in my mates 4x4 saph cossie a few years ago

I had a rat residing in the engine bay of my 4x4 when it was laid up. Put poison down in several areas where it had crapped, battery tray, rocker cover etc.

A week or so later whilst doing the washing up and looking out of the kitchen window, I only see the rat in a bad way dragging itself across the patio Lets just say that I put it out of its misery there and then, and had no more problems since. Quite lucky there wasn't more of them.
