&@$)?&$@ Mice.

Fired up my car today after 4 years. Dust cover on my tranny was hitting the flywheel. Took it off and beat the crap out of it till it fit. Next the rocker arms were hitting the valve cover. Turned the valve cover around now the oil filler cap won't fit. But it was running and sounded good. Had the rad cap off to burp the system and it see stuff floating around. Damn mice filled the image.jpgrad with peanuts. Took out about 7 whole friggin nuts . Hope i got them all.  I hate mice.

They don't have to sit for years to get mice in them. I could tell you lots of stories from the dealership I work at about mice problems.
Mice love Toyota wiring. I have been told it's because Toyota uses a vegetable base insulation for their wiring.

here is what i do for storage. i buy small cheap plastic containers with snap on lids and put about a dozen moth balls in each. poke about a half dozen holes in the lids. when car is parked i put a couple under the hood, a couple in the interior and another in the trunk. i haven't had a problem where other cars in the same complex got chewed and nested. the moth balls will last 2-3 yrs. i just give them a good shake or add a couple next fall. seems to work for me.

I can never remember so I looked it up.

Mothballs are nearly 100% active ingredient, and the active ingredient may be eithernaphthalene or paradichlorobenzene. Each active ingredient can cause different health effects if the exposure is high enough. Mothballs slowly turn from solids to toxic vapor. When you smell mothballs, you are inhaling the insecticide. Mothballs can also be dangerous if they are chewed or eaten. Children, pets and wildlife may mistake them for food or candy and eat them. One mothball can cause serious harm if eaten by a small child.

Paradichlorobenzene (1,4-Dichlorobenzene) Health Effects

Moth balls outside your interior in containers with holes through them and bounce sheets inside the car. I store my camper this way and have never had an issue

You mean the green stuff sold now isn't what it used to be? (as far as toxicity).  Good to know.

I read that a year or 2 ago I used to check for head gasket or cracked head by tasting the liquid coming out tailpipe.sounds gross but never failed me even when I could not smell it.new stuff does not have same chemicals.

Just probably stopped putting the poison in it because people were drinking it anyway. Cheaper than listerine .

Sorry, I really can't say. My lawyers have alerted me to the fact that due to certain federal and interstate legal issues, the statute of limitations hasn't not run out yet (and probably never will).

Now I've heard that if'n you want to rid your house/barn/lean-to/car etc. of varmints, just get some coke/pepsi and put some flybait in with it. The coke attracts them, and the flybait finishes em. Make sure you put it where your kids/pets/friends can't get at it. Mother-in-laws are fair game. biggrinnono

 some yrs ago we had a portable school building, butler, we put on some land we bought south of bancroft for snowmobiling mostly and some hunting. little to no summer use. we had 2 5gal pails inside with antifreeze and peanut butter for the bait. it was nothing to go up and there would be a dozen mice in each one.

 I have used a spinning can or bottle to hold the PB over the antifreeze at my cottage for several years. I also find up to a dozen mice when I check it in the spring. I also have one in my garage and have killed several there this winter.

Best way to get rid of mice is the air canon we used to make at work. 1 1/2 pipe 2 ft long with a photo eye at the end to activate a solenoid valve hooked up to 120psi of air. Mouse goes down the tube to get the peanut butter at the end, trips the photo eye and it's a 120 MPH ride against a steel support column.
