Mouse feces carry potentially awful things for we humans. If you ask me it’s fire-with-fire.

Sure you know where you are going with that? devil

 

I’m not sure what you mean...

Following the "fire-with-fire" comment I think the implication he picked up on is that we could E36 M3 in our own cars to keep the mice away...

That might work. The disease may be worse than the cure though!

Disconnect the battery.  Something about the electrical charge in the wires gets the rodents chewing. 

I learned this from a buddy who stored his jeep at the the hunting camp.  Rodents destroyed the wiring.  Someone told him about the battery thing so after re-wiring he always disconnected the battery when he left. 

Never happened again.

 As a service technician for dryers I can attest 100% that they will use dryer sheets for nesting materials and chew on it. I’m not sure what sort of sorcery has lead people to believe that they actually work, but it does not, believe me!

No mice in the presence of dryer sheets doesn't mean they repelled the mice, it just means you didn't have any mice around.

I have it on good authority that Snuggle drier sheets repel alligators and elephants.

So far they have worked very well for me for that purpose.  They have also kept the tigers away.
