The little buggers were always crawling into spaces in my Garden Tractor''s engine to build nests over the winter and then causing all sorts of mechanical problems when I started using it in the spring. My mechanic advised me to put mothballs in an old sock or something and put them under the hood on the engine to help keep them out.
