I sorted for recent reviews, they aren’t very good.I drive my car at least every week or every other week. It don't snow everyday and when it does I wait a few days after when all snow is off the ground and I take the main roads.
I use these. I stick 2 in the engine compartment and 1 in the cabin.
I also have 4-5 Mouse traps in the garage. Peanut butter seems to work good.
This is your answer. It works 100%. You take a 5 gallon pale fill it 1/2 full with antifreeze and water, drill two 1/8” holes in the opposite sides of the bucket about an inch from the top. Cut a metal coat hanger to use the straight section to go across the bucket, then take a 12 oz. Plastic bottle, drill 1/8” hole top and bottom the suspend the bottle across the bucket with the metal rod. Smear peanut butter all over the bottle, then put a wooden ramp up to the bottle. You will have to clean out the dead mice every other day. I’ve use this for the last 8 years. It works unbelievably. You have to use antifreeze so it doesn’t freeze and the mice won’t stink. Refresh the peanut butter every so often. I guarantee your mouse problem will be solved. My first time I got 13 mice in one week.

This guy beat me to it. Most of the discussions in here are strategies around deterrence rather than resolving the actual problem. An effective strategy would be to employ both discouraging them from nesting in your vehicle (and chewing on your wiring) but also to actual remove them as much as possible. You'll always deal with newcomers from outside your local area, but if you use effective traps you can keep the population down significantly. This type of trap is actually employed in military manuals for capturing rodents (for consumption). They also make electric traps that electrocute them. A simple bucket or trash can with a path to a string baited with peanut butter. They fall into the water reservoir and eventually drown. Peanut butter is like crack cocaine to mice and rats. It's not enough to try to discourage them, you actually have to remove/eliminate them.This is your answer. It works 100%.

Hello; I like the bucket trap. Some questions. First is do you pluck out the dead rodents and keep using the antifreeze or dispose of it and add new to the bucket?
Yeah, glycol is another dimension that's effective, but yes, any other critters that consume it are going to be poisoned.
