When you find a method short of radiation let me know. I did'nt drive my
vanagon for about a week and during that time I had a ground squirrel build
a home behind the radiator cover. I store a few other VW's in my pole barn
and its a constant battle with the mice. I once had a cat that lived in the
barn that helped with the mice but it also draged every other kill it made
into the barn like Rabbits, Birds, Snakes, and various other meals. They
will find an existing way in or they will make there own opening. The best
way to stop it is get rid of the mice.

How do mice get into Vanagons?  My Westy has mouse turds in all the nooks
and crannies.  Nothing against mice but I would like to NOT serve as a
rodent shelter this winter while it's in storage if possible.  But I can't
for the life of me figure out where they would be getting in... are there
hidden openings in the body shell I'm not thinking of?  Maybe up behind the
dash or something?
