Had this problem on the Oregon Coast, got real cold at night so mice would nest all over my vehicle. My local mechanic recommended peppermint oil mixed with water in a spray bottle. I'd park at night, spray that around the vehicle. Wheel well tires and nesting areas and it worked like a charm. I guess it's like mace to the mice and burns their sinuses so they stay away, smells good too

Also, peppermint extract wont work, must be 100 percent peppermint oil.
