Mold and mildew inside the car

[440 4 speed]

100% agree. I hade a 67 sport fury that got infested over the winter, All windows were up and they actually ate a hole through the vent window rubber. They also hung out on the visors which were up and ate a hole in the headliner. So beware and store your car over the winter with the visors vertical.

(Meece??) solution. WORKS!
Get a bucket.
Punch two holes through the side directly across from each other.
Punch holes in the ends of an empty soda pop can, same size as the rod going across the diameter of the pail.
Start on one side of the pail, install can.
Put the rest of the rod through the other side of the pail.
Slather the pop can with peanut butter.
Put about 4 inches of good old antifreeze in the pail. 50/50 works fine here, but our temperatures get quite cold. You might need less.
Put a board or something else against the pail that the mice can climb, and reach the rod.
They climb up go to the can with peanut butter it rolls over end of problem.
My father was using a metal pail back in the 50’s, if not earlier. Usually used wheat kernels. Mice would die because of lack of water. Sometimes I would take the live mice and feed them to the cats.
FORGOT!! DO NOT PUT THE PAIL anywhere a family pet can get at the antifreeze, it will KILL the pet!!!

be careful when dealing with mold. It can mess up lungs and nerves. Use a respirator when inside the cabin for sure.

Not worth the risk, your Dad had it right. I cheer if I hear a trap snap shut, but when I catch them live, I take them to a field with the dog.

I let one loose in a big pile of leaves next to a creek, and my young pup went after it. I thought to myself "good luck", and 10 seconds later there she was running around with a mouse in her mouth. The mouse got loose and ran with the dog chasing, it did a 180 and so did the dog, then 180 and so did the dog. After a half dozen ten foot runs with switchbacks, I was starting to wonder how far a mouse can run when it ran back into the leaves and my dog didn't find it that time.

Hi everyone, I opened the door on the 68 Roadrunner and there was mold or mildew on the bottom area of the seats. The material is vinyl covers from Legendary. I’ve never put anything on them like Armor all. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yes we have, and thats with factory original interior… NOT legendary. It depends on the humidity and darkness.

Spray with Lysol, let sit a few minutes and wipe clean.

Bingo

House we lived in when I was a kid was so humid in the basement. My mom hung desiccant in a sock over a bucket. It would drip water

In addition to the peppermint spray inside the car , I set out 3 plastic jars with corn meal and baking soda. Fifty fifty mix. I drill a one inch hole in the lid so they can eat it. The baking soda makes them get bloated and mice can’t fart (some jokes are sure to come) and it kills them. I just hope they go somewhere else to explode.

I use 2 of these per vehicle for the last 8 years. Works for me.

DO NOT use and heat or light inside. I did one winter on a classic jeep and it was a disaster.

I have an assortment of snakes on my property that will eat rodents and each other for that matter.

What kind of snake is that? Is it venomous?
