You may worry about mice getting into your house more than you think about them getting into your car. It is a potentially serious problem that must be addressed. This is especially true if you live in certain areas where you may be tempted to park in an area prone to rodents. Here are some tips to remember to avoid them.
Where to Park
Parking your car on gravel or asphalt helps to avoid the potential for rodents inside it. Areas with high grass or woods are more prone to mice and rats. Removing excess food from your car helps as well.
How Do They Get In?
Rodents can get in via various openings in your car. They may enter through the vents and die inside the car. They can also get in through the pedal shaft, gaps in wiring or the steering column.
What Risks Do They Pose?
Rodents are unpleasant and unsightly to say the least, especially when they are in the wild and unexpected in your life. They can carry disease, including the potentially fatal hantavirus. They are also prone to chewing through wires and thus can make operating your car dangerous. Keep yourself safe.
