To "quote" Pete Seeger... I had horrible problems with mice in my Prius and posted several times, one of the most memorable being a picture of the engine air filter box stuffed with dog food...Another time it was Cheerios. My '08 Prius went away in 2022. Other than mice it was a great car -- But just found some mouse droppings in the engine compartment of my Subaru, out come the traps -- two around each tire and a few placed along nearby wall. But, really, our Subarus have been mostly rodent free. Wonder if there was truth to the bit I heard some of the Prius models had soy and/or peanut ingredients? kris
There's lots of ya'll who have moved on from your Prius but are still part of the community... Like @bisco @bwilson4web and others... I pulled a mummified rat carcass out of Gen2 cabin air filter area once. It was gross but glad it was years dead and not fresh!
LOL... Then all mice from your neck of woods must have migrated to our home this year. We have been battling against surge of mice (Easter deermouse, scientific name: Peromyscus maniculatus) in house, car, garage, sheds, and apiary. Also we are seeing increased activities of rats, mostly brown rats (scientifi name: Rattus norvegicus) around home. So far, I closed off the air intakes on our son's old Honda, but I have not done anything with our new Equinox EV. No sign of rodent invading our EQEV... not yet anyway. The house is different story. Even after closing the obvious point of entries, the exclusion has not worked. They are finding a way into our house. I have set large numbers of traps (~30 total now), and checking them on daily bases. I caught most of them now about 30 mice in less than two weeks. But still seeing 1-2 trapped occasionally, so I know they are still coming in. I just can't figure out where...
