Default Mouse prevention

Just wondering if any of you do anything to try and prevent mice from taking up residence in your Vette. This will be my first year storing over the winter. It is out in the country and it may not be able to be checked for weeks at a time. I have heard of deterrent pellets but don't know the name or where to get them.

I use irish spring soap. I cut the bars in half and set them on a plate or tupperware. I use 2 bars in the car and 0ne in the engine compartment.
Don't forget to put rags in your exhaust pipes. keeps them from using your mufflers as a home.

Hope this cat would be better than the one I got. Our cat spends 90% of her time in the garage but still, this spring a mouse had gotten into my car and chewed the wire to the VATS system.

Irish Spring shavins & use "mouse treat". It comes in a 3 pak, small black boxes. Drys out the mouse from the inside, No stink wherever they die.
