9/2 update - all - thank you for your feedback. I live on 20 acres, rural area, so parking at a neighbor's isn't feasible. I'm going to take the Subaru to the Dealership next week and have them go through the car and plug any holes that I have missed and look for any place that the mice could be hiding. I'm wondering if the mice did enter the car originally from the car lot where it sat?? That's good feedback to consider. Since I am desperate to catch these critters I will try moth balls and the dryer sheets. Heck! I have tried everything else and can't catch them. It is quite frustrating to see the mouse droppings all around the traps and buckets of water and the d-con because they have gotten so smart they avoid everything. My car is vacuumed completely every week-end because I'm trying to "enjoy" my new car, but right now it's hard to do... I'll keep you posted on what happens next week after I take the Impreza to the Dealership. 8/30 posting - I have a brand new Impreza and mice have found their way inside. I have plugged every conceivable hole/crawl space that I see that gives entry from the outside to the inside of my car. I have tried to catch them with sticky mats, conventional mouse traps, plastic traps, $50 boxes, d-con, and buckets of water. Nothing works! They are mocking me and I'm going crazy! Every morning I remove all my traps from the trunk, seats, dashboard and floors, and still find mouse droppings everywhere. What else can I do? Call an exterminator? My husband says even if we are successful in exterminating the mice - how do we prevent them from coming in again? I go ballastic every morning when I get in the car to go to work. Anyone out there have severe mouse problems that they can give me some advise?
