Well, probably not. For the first time in nearly a decade of owning a 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Campmobile, I seem to have a mouse or two that have found a cozy home in my van. One nest was in the engine air intake, one in the space under the refrigerator. There was no odor, so probably not house mice, those emit a definite sharp odor. I did not find the beasties as the famous Scottish poet called the one he observed. So, they may still be in the van, or maybe not. Besides nesting materials, they brought in sunflower seeds, which they had to have scavenged from my bird feeders, since I store them in a steel trash can with a tight fitting lid. A mechanic here suggested scented dryer cloths, the kind used as "softeners" as a repellent. He said to just scatter them around the van. Has anyone else any experience with this method? Any other suggestions? The van is kept in the garage when not driven, and I haven't found evidence of mice nesting elsewhere in the garage. mcneely
