The Worst Mouse Damage Ever and the guy has not even looked under the Plenum. In this case I would be scared to look under the Plenum.

There are a lot of items the mice have chewed on that will prolly still function perfectly but look bad. I have never seen so many different items the mice have chewed on (and the Plenum has yet to be removed) as this case. Just a Warning.....it can get BAD :rolleyes:

In this case they chewed sensors, Coolant hoses, windshield wiper hose. But....... another guy responded describing mice INSIDE the car which is even worse.

They use Mutton Tallow in the process of putting the insulation on the wires.

Use moth balls that come in packets and stuff them between the intake runners. Count the number that you deploy because you don't want to burn one you forgot to pull out before driving.

It also repels snakes if you deploy them near the door openings.

Learn something new every day.
I never knew that, but it certainly explains the attraction and gnawing.

As for the earlier post; If I were a mouse I would not screw with Boris either!
Maybe I could even learn to tolerate paw prints!

You go Boris!

(Actually, Boris appeared in a similar thread in Corvette Forum )

I hope Boris had been de-clawed. I had a cat that used my freshly painted 1973 Challenger as a slide and I would have preferred to replace coolant hoses and electrical wires...

I store 6 Corvettes and I put Irish Spring soap under the seats, on the floor and on the engine block and never had any problem with mice. I do the same in my bus and that has been stored for almost 6 years.

Hopefully placed by only good looking redheaded women in a full Irish brogue :dancing

I wasn't that horrified from that mouse gnawing shown in the link. Set of plug wires and rubber hose- a good used turnsignal/marker light harness (or just shrink tube repair it). Throw a c-note for parts and your own labor...fixed.

of course the under plenum condition might be interesting.

Careful, Boris will get you in addition to those nasty mice!
