  • They crawl in. Inside the cab or the engine compartment? Mice can squeeze through tiny cracks and gaps. They are always looking for a warm dry place to procreate. Reference:20 year mechanic Read More
  • Ive had a lizard get into a past car we had. but field mice can come from anywhere, no matter where you live they can travel in anything.

  • Buy some moth balls and place on the flat surfaces under the hood and if you park inside put a few on the floor directly under where you park. That will do the trick!

Other Choices:

The Honda CR-V has been completely redesigned for 2008, and it has a very spacious interior, with comfortable seating and a smooth ride. The CR-V is also more fuel-efficient, but it just isn't much fun to drive and it's not as rugged when taking on the rutted trail to a campsite. The Outlander is a different type of crossover; it also caters more to on-road performance, but it has a decidedly sporty character, with a firm ride and very crisp handling. On paper, it competes closely with the 2008 Subaru Forester, but in reality, it's quite a bit heavier and just doesn't feel as nimble. However, both of these models have the Forester beat for refinement. Another choice, for those who appreciate the Forester's boxiness and city-friendliness, is the Scion xB. The Scion has a lower price than the Forester, with a similar nimble feel on the road, and it's more fuel-efficient. However, it doesn't have the rugged ability or the all-wheel drive of the Subaru.
