Consider installing some metal screen over your air intake. Mice love to set up shop in there, if they do it'll stink like hell!

I had a mouse that built a nest in the cabin filter of my Silverado. I’ve really had enough of the rodents around here.

The little Rat bastards got in my Toyota Corolla cabin filter, had pups in the damn thing. One of them died, they ate half of it and or course left the remaining corpse. The smell was too unbearable! I almost lost it!

I use this on the wife's car and my truck. The Jeep sits in the garage. I spray the wheel wells each night after I noticed paw prints on the engine covers.

We use these things and haven’t had any problems since!! Before these, the rodent nesting was happening at least once a year per car!! So annoying and really disgusting when they would get hit by the fan?

When I first quickly read your reply, I momentarily thought you were telling me to eat the squirrels. I’m not against that.
I have eaten them in game stew, but only the gray variety.

Take a deep breath, put on a swimming googles and empty an older (maybe officially expired) bear repellent spray underneath your hood, close the hood and let the liner absorbs a bit and dry out... Extreme conditions call for extreme measures.... ;) (when you are camping in the middle of nowhere and a pair of mice decide to nest on top of your battery - and no other chemicals were available)...
Hint: It worked...

Try Capsaicin Oil.

It's the "hot" part of hot sauce.
That did absolutely nothing for me.

I tried all the wise tails for repelling squirrels. 2 batteries and 2 wiring harness later. I got a sound and light emitter from Amazon. Only thing that has worked

Something like this.
