Maybe not a great play on words, but I was trying to be witty by combining "nightmare" and "mice" - did I succeed? Anyway, mice are everywhere. I still have them in my car because my husband is so darn nice that he insists on catching them one by one in the "live trap" and then driving them down the road to the local park. I pity the people who live near that park; perhaps they have had a hoard of mice moving into their homes and/or cars. I find little presents in my car every morning when I leave; a mouse poop in the cup holder, a piece of tissue or other trash they got out of the little trash bag in the front of the car; some leaves or bird seed they've brought in to make their nest. I'm preparing to look up the number for an exterminator any minute!
This past week, we took my car to Walser Toyota to have the oil and filter changed. Also had them check out the air cabin filter to see if it needed cleaning. They just did it a couple months ago when they cleaned the bird seed out of the sunroof. This time, the cabin filter needed to be replaced because there was a "good sized nest" in there! When will it end?
Not only are mice in my car, but I found one at a client's house the other day. They have two Ocicats and there was an early Christmas gift waiting for me in the the living room. It was either a very realistic toy or a very dead real mouse. Regardless of what it was, it's in the garbage bin out in the garage now!
Everyone we know tells us to use the old-fashioned traps, the poison, or call an exterminator. I've told Donald that if, by the time he leaves for his first trip to Tennessee in two weeks, the mice are still active, I will be taking over. And it won't be pretty - at least not for the mice.

Oh my goodness! I can't believe they are still hanging around!!!!!!!! I've never heard of such a struggle to rid someone's CAR of mice. The live traps may quit working altogether, too. If other mice watch their buddies getting trapped, they will eventually catch on and quit going in there. Hugs! I hate live traps and poison, but I can't imagine living with my car infested either...so I think that I'd have to break out the deadly weapons! :) LOL Keep us posted...its good entertainment for the rest of us!
Third time's a charm - let me see if I can get this comment right!
Sorry, Donald, but goodbye to the furry mice creatures.
I think an exterminator is in order. It's cold outside and they'll all want a warm place to the winter - if not the car, then in the basement. I say leave it to the experts.
