Index of Subjects --047d7b15b2656bc07d04ed0e3204 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I had a neighbour who did two things. First, he put dryer sheets inside the car....he claimed that mice didn't like the smell of them...he didn't offer up any scientific proof to back this claim. Secondly, and perhaps the most effective: He had a large sheet of heavy-duty plastic...the type that I think is used as vapour barriers in houses....he spread it out on the floor of the garage, and then parked his car on top of it. then he pulled it up around the sides, back, and front of the car. I think he had enough of it that he could actually overlap the edges, and then tape them together. He claimed it worked.
