Mice in Your Car

Check the cabin before using the fan. Droppings and chewed paper need attention.

Look in the glovebox

Inspect storage spaces and footwells. Avoid disturbing dry droppings or nesting material.

Check the cabin filter

Use the vehicle manual. A contaminated filter needs replacement after safe removal.

Air out, then wet-clean

Follow CDC vehicle guidance: ventilate first, wear gloves and disinfect. Never vacuum dry droppings.

Trap in the garage

Use protected placements away from children and pets. Keep traps outside the cabin.

Remove nearby food

Secure birdseed and pet food. Clear garage clutter and check door seals.

Stop the next nest

Remove cabin snacks. Ask a workshop about persistent smells and damaged intake barriers.
