when mice attack

The first attack came when my 90 fell victim to a mouse using the sound
insulation material under the hood to make a nest in my interior blower motor
intake (so THAT was why the fan was making so much noise....).

The second I discovered today.  Fortunately the rodent didn't survive this
one.  I went to go explore the possibility of routing AN fuel lines through
the interior of the car rather than under it when I removed the rear seats
and discovered a mountain of insulation under it.  After cleaning it all up I
found the culprit stiff as a board under the carpeting.  While he/(she?) was
making a homestead in my tq it managed to nearly chew through the fuel pump
ground, some trunk wiring, speaker wire, and some of my amp wiring and RCA
cables... GRRRRRRRR.  I spent a few hours today repairing the wiring and
such.  What a pain!  Pretty soon I'm going to start leaving rat poision under
my seats!  I'm kind of curious now how it got into the passenger compartment
though....

Later
