Hi Everybody,
Wanted to share this with you, and find out where the cabin filter is on the 2017 F350.
I took my Hyundai in for service at the Hyundai dealer and long story short they showed me the cabin filter. It was full of rodent urine and droppings. I changed it and the next day there were rodent droppings inside the car on the package tray and dash. In addition, there was also droppings and urine on the new cabin filter. I killed three mice in the garage over the past two weeks and I set a trap inside the Hyundai.
I want to check the cabin filter in my F350, does anyone know where it is and how to get to it?
Thanks,

Thanks, I'll check it tomorrow. I'm hoping it is just in the Hyundai and not in the Super Duty.

Get after them they can destroy your wiring. Mother-in-law had to have a Toyota that was 3 years old rewired. She fed geese and squirrels and kept a lot of corn and seed in her garage. I read they eat the casing on wire because there is some made with soy?

True story,

When I was a youngster, we moved out into the country. Shortly thereafter we had a mouse problem. Dad hated cats, but he hated mice more. He went out and found a big tom cat and brought him home. He named that cat "Target". Either he was going to be a darn good mouser or the cat was going to be a darn good target. Target earned his keep for many years (dad never spent a penny on cat food) and we never again had a mouse problem.

Baring that, set a number of spring traps in the garage to get on top of the problem including several inside the vehicle that you are finding droppings in.

I find that the mouse glue traps work really well too. They even collect small bugs.


I have them all over the place in my 5th wheel as a preventative measure.
