1. Clean the parking space or park the car in an empty and clean place.
Where there are mice, there are usually hiding places nearby. Might as well tidy up the items on the edge of the parking space, find out the permanent dens of rats and destroy them completely. If the surrounding environment cannot be cleaned, you can consider parking in a clean and open place if conditions permit.
2. Install guard plates and barbed wire
It is only an expensive method to add a device on the chassis of the car to prevent mice from directly getting into the front of the car.
Step 3 smell away
Rats have a keen sense of smell and are afraid of pungent smells. They can use mothballs and perfume to drive them away. Specific operation reference: wrap the mothballs with fine iron mesh and fix them in the blank under the front cover of the car. For perfume, tulip flavor has a better effect.
The electronic mousetrap uses the principle of electromagnetic wave or ultrasonic wave to drive away mice. It should be noted that if the electronic mousetrap is connected to the battery of the car, remember not to turn it on for a long time to avoid exhausting the battery.
For adaptable mice, the methods of odor repellent and electronic rodent repellent may not be able to be used once and for all. In order to ensure driving safety, it is necessary to open the front cover of the car before leaving the car.
Extended data
When the weather is cold, small animals such as mice will also look for warm places and climb into the cabin from time to time. When parking, car owners should try to choose a place with good sanitary conditions. When a car is repaired because a mouse climbed into the engine compartment, it is mostly because the parking place is close to the garbage dump or restaurant.
If the parking space is fixed, you can put some rat poison or something with a strong pungent smell around. At present, there are some insect repellents sprayed in the car or engine compartment on the market, which are not recommended, because these insect repellents are all chemicals, and people are in the compartment, so the space is small and relatively closed, which will do some harm to human health.
The owner should check the engine compartment regularly. Open the front cover of the car every two or three days to see if there are mouse footprints or residual food on the engine. If it is found early, it can be cleaned and disinfected in time. Otherwise, rats may defecate in the engine room, die, or even nest and give birth to young rats.
In addition to accumulating food, rats will also bite the items and wires in the car. If it is not cleaned in time, the wires will be bitten off and the parts will be destroyed. In addition, the wires will be short-circuited or even spontaneously ignited after fire.
If you want to prevent rats from entering the engine compartment, you can consider installing upper and lower guards on the engine of the car. The lower fender can not only protect the engine when the car collides with vibration, but also prevent rats, mosquitoes and garbage from entering the engine.
