Mice!! I hates em

Just had my first experience with those damn mice. They chewed-up my Chevy Blazer's engine pretty good in just one night. Even chewed the spark plug wire right down to the wire core. Did realize it happened for a day or so until I kept finding more and more damage. Could see the little bastard's teeth marks on the solid plastic neg battery terminal. Too bad he didn't fry himself on the battery. Thankfully he didn't get to the GN.

The traps are set now!
 
Open and close the doors and open the hood and trunk lid, every night. I put standard snap traps in the car, in trunk and on floors, with small dabs of peanut butter - works great. Also keep a fox terrier in the garage at night. He will alert me if a mouse is present. :)
 
I use that mouse killer it comes in a poptart looking bag full of little green pellets.the mice eat it and then leave the area in search of water.I also use pb on snapper traps.I have a electronic gizmo that plugs in and it doesnt work a crap.Kill em all and keep them away from all GN's.
 
Just saw this in an e-mail that was sent to my wife; might help with the mice problem and has other uses:

How about one of those plastic bubbles that compleatly seals the floor & around the whole car?.
I have seen a GNX on Ebay that was stored with this system.
 
LMAO, yep Jesse, does look that way on the surface.
Anyway you can kill a mouse, do it. The last GM dealer I was at was having houses built right behind it. Needless to say, the displaced mice found an abundance of food in the form of leather seats and wiring on a bunch of new Buicks, Olds, and GMC/Chevy trucks. I hated to see a lot porter pull a truck into the service drive an anounce the SES light was on. Needless to say, our insurance carrier hated it even more.
