When that's all there is to eat, they'll come in the traps or leave the car.
    Thank you.

    Kids are kids. Parents are parents.

    Mice in the car. NO more snacks. Game, set, match.

    Done.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Agreed. I’ve been fighting about food in the car for years. I think this actually made my case. Wife agrees now. Lol

    I would try communication. Leave a note for him expressing your frustrations... usually things like this are just a miss understanding.

    Set some traps and trap the mouse. Then you need a bamboo skewer and place the mouses head on the skewer close by the car as a reminder to the other mice in the neighbourhood that your not playing around.......

    There is a repellent product called, "Mouse Magic" that has a lot of good ratings from the farmers in my area. I have no idea if it's available in your neck of the woods, but maybe take a look see.

    Just to say, I HATE MICE! Damn things got into my home A/C (the outside unit) and did $300 worth of damage.

    I cleaned everything in the car (again), emptied it out of all personal items, removed the spare tire, tolls and carpet from the spare tire well, put 3 glue boards in the car....1 in the drivers foot well, another in the floor of the back seat, and a third in the spare tire well. Got him within 30 minutes tonight. My wife felt bad for him so she drove him a mile away and poured vegetable oil on the board to release him. (Crazy, but she’s happy). Hopefully he was the only one. I reset the one that caught him in the back seat and will check in the morning before I put everything back together.

    Traps have been there since 8pm last night. No more droppings or mice in traps since the one was caught. Going to reassemble the interior soon.
