[Shop-talk] Cabin Air Filters

[Paul Parkanzky]

Have you tried a repellent like FreshCab?

Fresh Cab Botanical Rodent Repellent 4 Scent Pouches - EPA Registered, Keeps Mice Out https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L236OMW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_33.GCb1FZJ0X4

A friend stores his fishing boat in the hay barn and swears by the stuff.

I’ve never seen any evidence of the mice in the truck except in the filter element.  I have no idea how they get in or out as there is a grate over the intake by the windshield.

>>> 	In my Frontier the cabin filter is inhabited by mice every winter and the acorns and nut they store fall down into the fan as they wear through the filter element, so not only does the filter do nothing I’ve got the loudest ventilating fan in town.  I think that this spring I’ll remove the fan, clean it and not install the cabin filter.  Inhaling mouse drippings can’t be good.
