Mice Mice and More Mice. Its a Micemobile - Page 3

My mother had a long stay in hospital over a decade ago and her car didn’t leave the garage in around 10 months. When she returned home, she asked me to sell her car as she wouldn’t be fit to drive it again. On starting it (yes, battery wasn’t flat!) I was showered with nuts and seeds from the air vents before smoke started coming through the cabin that escalated into an engine bay fire. I managed to roll it out of the garage and into the lane before calling the fire brigade in. When they put it out, they found nuts and shredded paper behind the bonnet soundproofing, in the air box, heater pipes and in the wiper motor area. They also found many cremated mice. The mice had made nests using shredded paper and bits and proceeded to chew through every cable in sight.

2005 XC 90 seems to allow mice into the interior at will. Have looked all over for holes and can't find any. I wire meshed the air intake for Heat/Vent system and still mice get in.
Nothing like have a Beautiful car with leather and finding mice poop all over. We have placed traps all around the vechile and leave traps in the car and catch them in the car every now and then. This problem is big enough to warrent a blog on another website that has numerous folks with the same problem.

Contacting Volvo Customer Care has brought no answers. You would think with such wonderful engineering and style they would solve this problem. $45,000 for a micemobile. I'll never buy another one.
