Consumer Reports Offers Tips to Prevent Mice Damage in Cars
Consumer Reports has highlighted the issue of mice causing damage to vehicles, particularly through air vents. Michael Crossen, who tests vehicles for Consumer Reports, has shared insights on identifying and addressing this problem. Common signs of mice infestation include scratches, chewed wires, droppings, and nesting materials. Crossen advises vehicle owners to clean and inspect their cars thoroughly if they suspect a problem. He emphasizes the importance of using protective gloves, disinfectant spray, and disposable towels for cleaning, and warns against using vacuum cleaners as they can spread contaminants. Crossen also suggests replacing the pollen filter and checking for chewed wires, which could make the car unsafe to drive.
