• Maintain cleanliness: Keep trash and debris in your parking area clean at all times.

2. Install mouse repellents
• Ultrasonic mouse repellents: Use high-frequency sound waves that mice do not like.
• Mouse repellent sprays: Spray chemicals that mice do not like, such as peppermint.
• Protective nets: Install nets or plastic sheets under your car to prevent mice from accessing your wiring.

3. Use natural substances that mice do not like.
• Herbs or scents that repel mice: Such as mothballs, pepper, peppermint essential oils Or basil leaves
• Bar soap: Place strong-smelling soap in the engine compartment

4. Take care of the engine compartment
• Open the hood frequently: Opening the hood reduces the heat in the engine compartment, which mice like to use as a shelter.
• Clean the engine compartment: Clean the engine compartment to remove odors that may attract mice.

6. Mouse traps

7. Block mouse entry points.
• Check the gaps in the engine compartment or under the car and use materials that mice cannot bite into, such as metal mesh or foam with mouse repellent.
