Mice away!
My wife suggested that I use dryer sheets to keep the mice away! Served me well for years. Put them in the interior on the engine in the tail pipes anywhere you might think they would like to live. Try it!

thats gotta be a whole lot better then the current smell of moth *****. which actually kept them out of the interior this year. instead they just moved inside the frame.

I pulled a dead one out of my frame a while back that had been dead for years. I had a different experience with my C5. My girlfriend (now wife) planted some flowers in a planter in front of my house. I did not have a garage at that house, so my car stayed in the driveway. All of the flowers vanished. I thought that deer or squirrels ate them. Went for a ride one day and my car shut down. Opened the hood and there were all of the missing flowers, pinestraw, sticks, and other things made into a huge nest right beside my alternator. Popped the serpentine belt and left me stranded.

I have had more problems with mice in the vette than any other car we have, oh and pack-rats! Pack-rats are the worst, they chew through anything they can and pack crap in every nook and cranny, but sence I have been putting soap ( Irish Spring ) in the car I have had very few.

ive been lucky on that part so far. little bastards havnt chewed through anything important yet. theyve just lived any place and every place in the car so far. even had one try running up my pant leg after i scared the crap out of it when the car started.
i probably should rip my seats out some time and see whats going on under there.
weirdest one ive found so far was the cooked mouse that was sitting ontop of my exhaust pipe. not a clue how he stayed up there, seeing as it looked like hed been there for quite some time.
i think ill go throw a bar of irish spring in the car tomarrow. itll beat the hell out of hte smell of moth *****.
