"Rats and mice are increasingly finding their way into parked cars, especially over winter, because vehicles offer warmth, shelter and plenty of hidden spaces to nest,"
"Because rodents are attracted to leftover food, keep your car and garage free of rubbish and vacuum regularly to remove crumbs."
"There can be dozens of potential entry points for rodents to access your car - from air vents and wheel wells to gaps in bodywork or pipes - so it's a good idea to seal what you can with steel wool."
"Strong scents such as peppermint oil, dryer sheets or certain soaps may also help keep them at bay,"
Rats and mice seek warmth and shelter in parked cars and garages during winter, exploiting hidden spaces to nest. They chew wiring, upholstery, air filters and plastic panels, causing electrical faults, steering failures, engine damage and costly repairs. Nesting materials, droppings and odours create hygiene issues. Garages amplify risk by offering additional warmth and protection while many vehicles are stored for winter. Prevention includes removing food and rubbish, vacuuming to eliminate crumbs, sealing potential entry points like air vents and wheel wells with steel wool, clearing clutter, avoiding vehicle covers, and using strong scents such as peppermint oil or dryer sheets as repellents.
