Default Car bag

Last winter I had some mice get in my drivers door and build a nest. What a friggin mess!

This winter I'm thinking about this Carbag. Anyone have any experience with one or see any downside?

I've seen those before. I wish they had something like this that would protect a car outdoors. I guess moisture would be the main issue.

no direct experience with any of these products, but mice are absurd creatures. They would probably just gnaw a hole through the thing and build their nest all the same. I didn't see how thick the thing was though, it may work.

You should get one of those bubbles the extreme collectors use. Then fill it with poison instead of air. That will show those mice!

Sounds pretty good. I'm sure if a mouse was determined, he could chew his way through, but he would really have to want to!

I had a mouse problem earlier this year. On top of that we live in the country and have lots of chipmunks around.I got 4 kittens from my neighbor. They live in the garage and I have not seen a rodent yet. They are adorable and seem to be as happy as a gopher in soft dirt!
