Does  that really work? I had a major mice invasion in my garage last  year.
Eventually caught them all with traps.  But, not before the  little vermints
left a few turds in my Roadster.
If there's something  that discourages them, I'd like to give it a try.  I've
heard cotton  balls soaked in peppermint oil works,  also.

Bounce sheets inside and  in the exhaust to keep the mice at bay






Steel wool stuffed into the end of the exhaust system keeps them out. Mice  
will actually crawl the full length of the exhaust system and build a nest  
inside a cylinder. Increases the compression but not in a good way. I've heard  
that moth balls work but don't know for sure. My thoughts would be to take 
about  a dozen mouse traps, bait them with peanut butter (mice go crazy for it) 
and sit  them around in plain sight. Check them every once and a while. At work 
we would  occasionally have mice move in. I always left one trap out where it 
could be  seen. When I caught the first mouse I would put out 3 or 4 more. The 
idea was to  catch them right away before they established a breeding colony.
