Title: Stopping Mice from getting in
Post by: ozfernandes on June 02, 2019, 11:31 AM
So we have a 73 brave that we gutted and are remodeling. I thought that I plugged up every hole with steel wool and expanding foam but they are finding their way in somewhere! They already are tearing up new carpet that was laid around the driver and passenger seat area. Any ideas on where else they could be getting in? I'm guessing somewhere up front? I've set up traps and bait and have caught a few but want to avoid them from getting in.

And once they get in, trap them.

To stop them from getting in would require nothing short of making it completely air tight, and they would still find a way to chew their way in.
Here's a post addressing ways to deter them, which is the best you can really do.
