Cement powder mixed with peanut butter. Works great, and you won't snap your fingers.

Bisquick beside a pan of water works too. It expands in their stomachs, and the stomach ruptures.

Ive used Cab Fresh with good results. It just has to be changed out every few months. Smells nice but mice hate it.

My grandma used to pour Coke into a jar lid, said mice loved it and couldn't burp.

Mice Getting Into My '71 Lately

I've been catching mice lately by using an ordinary mouse trap. During the winter months the little critters are attracted to the heat of the radiator, intake manifold, and heater core so I'm finding them inside my '71 even when I keep the windows up. I think they may be coming in thru the passenger side kick panel vent.

The oils laced with capsicum will remain for quite a while.

a few years ago when I started my car I saw a mouses head in the vent on the dash . I have a free standing garage about 40 feet from the house . I started the car closed the garage door and let it run for about 20 minutes . Turned off the car and when I went back about a hour later opened garage door waited about another hour to clear things out the mouse was laying on front seat dead at least I think it was the one . I now do this about 4 times a year it even seems to get the bugs .

How about a little dish of antifreeze. That stuff is tasty if watered down a little, and kills the kidneys.

Peppermint oil for me too. I just pour a few drops on the floor mats. In addition to keeping the mice away it makes the car smell good.

Heated garage. Any recommendations on keeping mice out?

I have my garage doors sealed really good, and never leave them open at dusk/after dark cause thats when the critters come in. It is a disaster if they get to your car.
