Mice above headliner?

[Dude]

@sajohnson When you had the headliner down did you check if there is an easy way to bolt on a handle on the drivers side like the one above the front passenger seat?

Sorry, we did not remove the headliner. Since the nest was above the dome light, we were able to get it from there with a shop vac.

Nice. Any mice end up in the vac?

Nope.

We've found that when we remove a nest they are almost always gone.

Poor unhoused mice! I’m sure they’ll another suitable shelter until they can get back on their feet!

I've read that dryer sheets will repel mice, but I haven't tried it.
I parked at Vallecito lake for 3 days and had to remove two 5 gallon buckets worth of pine cones. Next time I put mothballs under the hood, and left the hood ajar. No squirrels

My friend lives in Elephant Butte, NM and used flashing white christmas lights to keep the mice away after having mice mess up his truck.

One GREAT use for mothballs. LOL I would have to remove them every time I drove the car. LOL They can really take your breath away. I have never heard of the "flashing lights" before. I know it can affect people with neurologic problems, but never knew it would bother mice. Good tip. We are in the mountains overlooking the White Sands/Alamogordo/Tularosa Basin area. We are about 35 miles from Cloudcroft, NM over the peak to the south. We are in the Lincoln National Forest actually adjoining the Military, US Army McGregor Range for Ft Bliss TX. That is a "test range" for missiles and anything they want to shoot into the air. LOL We are at 78/7900 feet at home, but the drive her goes over 11,000 feet at the peak. Stop by for a coke sometime. Good luck on the mice thing. Rodger...Timberon, NM

We had flying squirrels in the attic of a small house on our property. We'd heard that mothballs deter them so we cut a hole in the T1-11 outside (there was/is no access) and tossed some moth balls in there.

The squirrels loved 'em! It sounded like they were bowling. Oh, and even though they were in the attic space, they stunk up the house. I had to climb bacl up there, remove the panel I'd cut out, and vacuum them up -- using a piece of PVC pipe as an extension.

Good times.
