This question goes to all of us who, due to winter climate, reluctantly put our Boxsters in storage for the long, cold winter. I have read that mothballs, strategically located in and around the Boxster will defer wily rodents (mice) from using the Boxster as a winter home.

My wife and I successfully use fabric softner sheets to deter deer (like mice, but bigger) from our gardens. As these sheets have a preferable fragrance relative to mothballs, we think they might work to keep mice out of the Boxter.

Anyone out there tried this? I am open to suggestions.

May the winter be warmer and shorter.

Thanks for your input.

Regards,
