Hickory nuts and a chewed up cabin air filter

[Jimmy07]

Never had a problem with mice. Now I have one chewing up paper in glove box .... and the front air bag lights stay on. So it seems that mice may have chewed up a sensor wire. Ughhhh !

One light at the instrument cluster (in front of steering wheel). I have a supercab. Since I don't have Forescan, will need to bring to dealer.

I'm in my glove box a lot because I eat lunch in my truck several times a week and I keep napkins and stuff in there. One afternoon I opened it and lot's of tiny pieces of napkin fell out perfectly shredded like a paper shredder would do. F##k!

So I took everything out and placed a trap in there overnight.

BINGO! Knowing there's usually more than one pest running I set the trap again and got another the next day. Nothing on subsequent days after that.
Here's what my cabin air filter looked like on the top side, and the blower wheel.

Cleaned everything up, replaced the filter and then sprayed a solution of this stuff (available on Amazon for $7) in the fender wells, under the hood, intake cowl and behind the glove box.
I've used it in my garage and shed with good results to keep the little terrorist bastards out. Also use it in the garbage cans to keep the bears and raccoons away. Smells great..... if you like peppermint.
