It's that time of year.

Mice and other rodents like to build nests in warm secure places. The inside of your dash is a great home for them. The issue is they cause damage to your wiring, blower motor and other components.


Now you're asking how do those little suckers get in there? Well they crawl in through your air intake duct. Then they make there way into your dash and use your insulation and anything else to make a nest.


If you find yourself with a pest problem we have a few recommendations for you.

  1. Clean out everything from your vehicle that is not absolutely needed.
  2. Never keep snacks or food in your vehicle - they are drawn by the smell. We all have that random granola bar. Time to toss it.
  3. Have a mesh cover installed over your air duct. This will prevent them from entering your dash. 


If they have already made a home, then we need to remove the next and clean out any debris. We would also recommend an ozone treatment to get rid of any smell that could be happening. 


Got pests? Give us a call and let us take care of you. 


Happy Adventures, 

Heather
