Did I have a mouse in the past?

[CarLuver]

Went to do my yearly check of my cabin air filter and found this . I suspect that there was a mouse here in the past .

What do you think ?

yikes.....not a pretty sight..
mine was not nearly as bad..my mouse apparently had a sweet tooth and was not a homicidal mouse like yours might have been.

Yep you have a rodent problem. Open the hood and spray the engine compartment with peppermint spray.

This is what I think of when a "mouse in the past" is mentioned. Yes kids, that was the connector we used back in the day

.

Try hard to get rid of them. My dad’s 2000 4x4 Tundra with 150k sitting in barn got a stink in vents. Next owner(brothers brother in law) who picked up for $3k and entire dash torn apart to find it full of acorns. He replaced and cleaned it. He never could get rid of smell and sold it .

There was a Seinfeld episode where they tried to get rid of a car with bad BO smell. They left it in a bad area with the keys in it and no one would steal it.

Yeah, mouse problem no doubt. Just stored an 06' Camry under my deck. Will be there a few years. Loaded the engine bay with pre-packaged / vented moth balls, and covered car with a well rated outdoor cover. Stuffed the tailpipe with stainless steel wool too. Read a thread here mice don't like the smell of moth balls. Hoping for the best.

That does look like a mouse nest.

I don't think they like mint either. A number of pests detest mint for some weird reason.

Does the peppermint spray work?

I’ve been spraying this around the RV and so far it seems to be working. Don’t spray if you plan on sticking around, burns my nose.

That's from a rat.
