Mice Elimination

A quick question. Has anyone figured out a great method for keeping mice out of engines? They seem to love my E350; they build comfortable large nests right in the middle of the intake manifold of the V10; they then proceed to eat the vacuum lines.



This vehicle is an RV, meaning it spends most of its life waiting to be used. I imagine if I drove it more, there would not be a problem. It sits for a couple months without being moved.



I have spread Decon in various places; the mice just seem to devour it; probably some die, but more quickly come back to settle in. Are there better methods?

I have a similar problem with my snowmobiles and a Kawasaki Mule which all stay at my cabin. Someone suggested to me mothballs or fabric softener sheets that you put in the dryer. I already had the fabric softener sheets, so I tried it, so far so good. Put the sheets where the mice like to nest. Make sure you remove them before you use the RV.

Put a tray of tomcat kibble in the engine compartment? Found in any supermarket in the roach killer section. Or save $6 and put a bowl of pet kibble soaked in antifreeze in the same place?
