An unused, protected vehicle or car puts up a gigantic "Welcome!" sign for mice and rats looking to come in out of the cold. They'll perform unthinkable acts in unimaginable places, and cleaning up their mess will cost you an unbelievable amount of money.

Rats and micefind a million ways to celebrate your generosity.
They'll find their way in under the car hood or through the air duct. Then they'll leave a urine trail so that they can find their way home when they leave. If they're in the ducts, you'll need to replace the entire duct system.
Rodents will shred your vehicle or carheadliner or seat cushions to make their nests soft for those romantic evenings and the resultant litters. A mouse couple can create 15,000 babies, grandbabies, and great-grandbabies in one year - in your car's back seat.
Rodents have to constantly gnaw on hard things. If they don't, their teeth grow so uneven that the rodent can't chew and dies malnourished. Mice and rats manicuring their teeth can destroy a vehicle or carsentire wiring harness or computer system overnight.
