mouse eating my engine again
 
I thought I took care of the problem by fixing what rubber he chewed through, but he's chewing again. When through the washer tube and looks like hes working on the AC hoses. I'd like to get him before he gets something serious. Any ideas on how to kill it? Or where he could be hiding. I am assuming he's living the the engine bay somewhere. Thanks all.

That's great ... you have a mouse living in your engine bay :rofl:

just change your sig to "mouse powered" and replace the engine with a hamster wheel, then he cant hurt anything...

or...

set a trap for him :) cat, cheese, poison... whatever.

Mice LOVE peanut butter. Put some in a trap and leave it under your hood.

Man I remember when I had a similar problem to this. It was mainly caused by the dog food in that my dog always had food left over in his bowl and the rat/mouse used to take the dog's leftover food and store it in the engine bay! I remember seeing rice in my engine a time and I was like WTF! How'd that get there. Solution, rat poison! Oh and he was also doin' some chewin' too. Glad I got rid of him!

I can't figure out where he lives. Especially since it had been a month or so since his last apperance. But I got some peanut butter and poision. I haven't checked it lately, so I don't know what has happened to it.
