Just a suggestion to
get rid of them. Try setting off 3 or 4 of those bug bomb deals inside
the car. Then just clean it all out. I know those are designed to
kill ants/roaches/fleas and what not, but 3-4 of them in such a small area
will kill a moose, so a mouse should be no problem.

I've
been trying to get rid of the mice that decided to make my Chevelle their
home. I placed traps in the car in several locations. The first one I caught
looked suspiciously like a female that was either pregnant or had just given
birth. The second and third mice I caught confirmed that this first was a new
mother as they were babies. I pulled the rear seat to find the home they built
using pieces of stuffing from my seats (quite a bit of stuffing I may add)
They had obviously been there awhile, based on the amount of mouse dung I
vaccumed up. I felt pretty confident that I had rid the ' 69 of all unwelcomed
visitors. Last night I opened the drivers door and when I did, something
dropped down on top of my head. I looked up to see bird seed falling down from
the headliner. I took a closer look and peeled back the door seal a little and
quite a bit of seed fell from there. The little bastards moved to higher
ground and are now living above my headliner. I'm guessing that there are at
least 2 (or more) nests up there. I can see a larger discolored spot above the
drivers seat which is wet to the touch and smells like urine. Also, you can
feel the weight of what I assume is another nest, just above the drivers seat.
This is somewhat of a heartbreaker as the interior of my ' 69 is in excellent
condition.
My
question: Is there any way to pull the edges of the headliner down so I can
get a look up there without destroying it? I don't want to remove the
headliner if I don't have to but I want to be able to run the intruders out of
my car. I can understand mice getting into a garaged car, but how the hell did
they get above the headliner? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.
