Rats and mice have to keep a constant watch for their natural predators living around Central TN. This means that they’re always on the lookout for a place to take shelter. If they can find a place to hide out that happens to be near a reliable food source, they will stay in the area for as long as they can. This is why we so often find rats and mice infesting our homes and businesses. Rodents often find temporary shelters in our cars, sheds, woodpiles, and yard waste piles, making their nests within or nearby.

During the colder parts of the year, many people in Central TN find rats or mice living inside their car’s engine compartment. If you have a foul smell coming from the ventilation system or mice droppings on the floor of your car, you most likely have guests living inside. To keep them from taking shelter near your engine, you can try placing deterrents like cedarwood, peppermint oil, dog hair, or mouse traps inside your car. You can also try propping your car’s hood open overnight to keep it cold—mice shelter near our engines for warmth.
