Default Mouse in My Truck

I noticed some paper in my truck all shredded up like maybe a mouse did it. I'm gonna have to find that little s.o.b before he does some real damage. I live out in a newer sub division and I'm at the end of a cul de sac with a corn field that butts to my back yard and I'm thinking since they took the corn out the little varmits are looking for a place to hang out this winter. I have to take a trip this afternoon (about an hr) and if the little s.o.b tries to crawl up my pant leg while I'm driving all is gonna break loose in that cab.

Thats what worries me. I have 3 golf carts at my place at the lake and it seems ever spring I have to fix ignition wires or light wires. That's cheap compared to chewing up wires in my truck. Didn't think I would ever have to set a mouse trap in my truck

Yep, cost me a new wiring harness in my little run around town go kart at the beginning of the summer. $300 for that and I still find new things all the time that need replaced. Noticed I didn't have any wiper fluid spry the other day and when i checked that out found that it had chewed a T connector it that line open also.

I've never tried it but they tell me moth ***** work. Myself I used poison bait blocks under the hood and in the cab and seems to have worked.

I always throw moth ***** around the outside of my place at the lake and it works great. Then I throw bounce fabric softener sheets all over the inside and never had a problem. I just don't know about mothballs under the hood of my truck. I worry every time I would turn on the heat I would get a blast of mothballs. Noway could I stand it inside my truck

Squirrels got both of my hoodliners. Luckily they left the wires alone.

Mothballs suit you good Jazzy.
