Those little f**ckers are incessant !!! Certain that it is, I've had my battles with them over the years. Last fall I discovered one dead behind the carpeting in the rear trunk .
Trying to get rid of the odor was like trying to get the stink out of ******************** !

A common problem in SoCal especially during autumn.

Never had rodent problems, but sucked up a red cardinal in my drivers side front bumper opening one day driving through the country...

Saw the little guy coming close while doing about 90 on a back road, but thought he diverted away from the car...

Little be known, after about three days, my garage smelled of death, so I figured I'd check and there he was, smacked flat against the radiator...

Good thing I got to him when I did and no further deterioration had occured......took take a pair of needle nose pliars and carefully removed...came out without any issues.

Yes. But, it took more disinfectant, perfume, cologne, room spray, air freshener or anything else that I could find than a Hong Kong nookie house would have !!!

Yeah, I found a nest on top of the engine, and next to the cabin air filter. Luckily no damage that I found. Since then I have repaired the door sill of my garage, and seem to be fairly rodent free! It's a steel sided "pole barn" , so at least they can't chew their way in.

You should be able to make an insurance claim for rodent damages.

Not sure about the rodent damages insurance claim. Last month, I had a fire in my BMW X5, determined to be caused by a weasel. Pretty scary for my wife. Fire melted the vacuum lines for the power brakes, and she was at speed on the autobahn!

Anyway, my insurance paid the claim, but the adjuster said it was only because there was fire. If it was only the rodent damage, I couldn't claim it. Thank goodness for fire!

I was at the quick lube oil change place and a guy in a big Ford pickup had experienced rodent damage and was using Coyote (sp) urine to scare the mice away. The guys at the oil change place didn't care for it, lol.
