Stupid mice

I have some dang mice in my truck, because I havn't been driving it and I wanted to know what is the best way to get rid of all of them, I got a mouse trap in there (I caught 4 all ready), and I got some mothballs in there.

What else could I do, I don't want to have to rewire my truck because mice have eaten through all the wires.
please help (if U can)

I feel your pain : a 410 shotgun or .22 rifle would do the job!
Just kidding - I would block the hole that the mice are using to get into the truck!

The problem with that would be finding them later *sniff sniff* whats that?... My friends first car was acting up, long time back, seemed like something was up with her air filter. Its pretty obvious where this is headed. I just was thinking how much it would have sucked to be the mice that had built a nest there when she started ol' Stella up

Stupid mice

The mice enter your truck usually two ways. Through the air cleaner duct or through the cowl vents. The best thing to do with or without the mice is to put a screen over the cowl vents. If you do not want to make your own little setup you can buy louvers ready made with screen at West Marine.
