Need a cat

I opened the bonnet for the first time today and found mouse S**T
On top of the strut and a bit of the soundproofing chewed away! Do you think
It could be still living somewhere in there? Or was it just passing? The car is brand-new so must have been when the car was stored by the garage.

Call me evil but... do you have a garage? If so....

Make sure the garage is as airtight as possible... turn the car on & leave it idling... come back in an hour or so and everything that was alive in the garage, will have snuffed it from the exhaust fumes

Will also solve the problem of where the mice came from, if there's a nest in the garage etc...

Just make sure the neighbours' pets aren't in there before you do it...

Or you could get an ultrasonic noise maker and scare them away.

I sprinkled some rat poison in the area where the damage was done.

Should do the trick...
