As you may have seen in another post, my car has suffered from a mouse attack.
It was funny at the time - but now he's been back for more.
I've got a serious problem.
He's had a go at a few rubber / plastic bits, but seems to really like the coolant hoses.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a product which could be sprayed in the engine bay which would discourage / dispel rodents.
Clearly it'd have to be something that wouldn't smell rank when hot.
A couple of bits of information ...
I'd be grateful for any (sensible) ideas.
TIA

- I live in a fairly isolated place in the country.
- I don't have a garage - the car is parked outside.
- I don't want to put poison down because of the danger to wild birds.
- I don't want to set traps round the car (I have hens).
- I can't get a cat - the wife is alergic.
I'd be grateful for any (sensible) ideas.

Numptie, have you tried one of the electronic mouse repellant devices ? This is a common problem for car and boat owners, especially when they are put into storage.
They swear by them. Don't know if it will annoy your hens tho

Thanks guys but I'd like to keep this out of muppet if you don't mind.
Dunk - cheers for that - I'm on the case.

The ultrasonic thingies seem to work, you can usually get them in Innovations catalogues (I love 'em ) or I found this website
which sells a "MiniMammalGo" at £20 ...
P*ss off mice
