mice

<p>Just found a mice nest in the engine of my lawn mower. Second time in 5 years- last time I did not realize it was there and ended up ruining the engine.</p>

<p>Anyone else have this problem? Anyway to stop it?</p>

<p>I had one in my office yesterday. Man, are they fast!</p>

<p>Welcome to fall…the cool weather brings the mice to warmer places. We had one on the engine of our car. Smoldered until the whole garage was filled with smoke. I thought the house was going to burn down. Miraculously, the engine was NOT damaged…but the dealership (bless their hearts) left us the mouse remains in a ziploc bag (Why???).</p>

<p>I have had dead mice removed from the air conditioning ducts of my car twice this year – once in August and once in September. It’s not a job I could do myself, unfortunately.</p>

<p>The people who service my car recommended keeping the air vents closed when the car is parked and using mothballs or human hair as repellants. We also keep mousetraps in the garage now.</p>

<p>If you keep your lawn mower in the garage, you might want to put some mousetraps and/or mothballs in the vicinity.</p>
