Mice can cause pretty intense damage to your pride and joy, especially if it's kept in a garage and you don't know there's a mouse in there.
Look out for:
🪹 Nesting material – shredded paper, insulation, fabric, foam or leaves tucked into warm, hidden areas.
🔌 Chewed wiring – check wiring looms, cables and insulation for tooth marks or damage.
🧽 Damaged upholstery – seats, carpets and padding can become nesting material.
💩 Droppings – particularly around the engine bay, underneath the car and inside the cabin.
🐭 Gnaw marks – mice will chew plastic, rubber, wiring and other materials.
👃 Unusual smells – a strong musty or unpleasant smell can indicate nesting or urine.
📦 Disturbed items – check boxes, covers and storage around the car for signs of activity.
