Keep the critters out of your Stude!!

As I was told, the soap is brand-specific, but the dryer sheets aren't; any brand will do. I bought generic brand.

I don't have any critters, but a friend of mine suggested slicing up an apple and putting it under the seat to rid the car of it's musty smell. Seems like some critters might show up after that though.[)]

I seem to remember that certain, er, herb fanciers favored chunks of apple to keep their stash from becoming too dry.[8D]

Gord,

I have heard that folks also did the same thing with tobacco. Sounds like they just transferred their knowledge to another product (looking for the up in smoke smiley).

I've tried mothballs and dryersheets. In most cases they work, there's always exceptions. In my '52 Commander there's one little devil who loves to collect mothballs. I've thrown out two nests that were filled with them. Dryer sheets don't seem to bother it. I continue to struggle with him/her and the fight goes on... I'll try the soap.

I have tried dryer sheets and Irish Spring soap too. The critters ate the soap!!!! I later found a couple of dead ones so I guess the soap didn't set too well with them.

I once had an old t-bird that had been infested w/mice. After stripping the whole interior out and scrubbing it all down-I re-installed the interior,and spread a couple sliced up apples around inside. I picked up my son from school[about 10 years old at time]asked him if the car smelled any better-he said yeah,it smells like poop and apples...

I just went with the mothballs this year. When the snow gets low enough to get in the buildings, we'll see how my cars fared.

Hopefully they escaped unscathed; it's bad enough they'll smell like my Grandma's basement[xx(]
