Don't forget to check/change your cabin air filter or you could end up with this...

My Indy told me all you have to do is put the cats in there for a couple days for a few hours now and then. Once the mice get their scent, they immediately start looking for a new place to live. The gig is up.

Just a word of advice, though I'm certain it doesn't need mentioning. If your cats are like mine, you'll wanna cover your car. Or you end up with this:

There were the same signs of mice in our Boxster too. We also had a small nest under the arm rest bin where the parking brake is adjusted.

I had the same thing happen. Since then, I now try to "mouse-proof" the car and garage. It seemed to work last year. I use peppermint oil in the car at places mice might frequent (supposedly mice hate peppermint oil and it doesn't smell bad). I put down several glue traps and my exterminator sprays bobcat urine in appropriae places. When he was spraying the first time, we saw several mice "getting the hell out of Dodge".

I don't know; cats in the engine compartment seems like a bad idea to me. Kind of cruel too.
