Ditto.
You can select some that don't encourage small critters; things with more open branches, bulbs, trees. Also if you encourage meso predators like raccoons and cats to have paths that come along there, also if you have tall poles that aren't shaded you could create perches for owls and hawks.
Yeah, gotta make sure it's inaccessible! Also, if animals eat poisoned animals, they will also die, so make sure it's like that block deep in the vehicle: somewhere the mice won't come out and kill your predators.
I use this type of stuff in a lot of places. It’s not terribly effective IME with multiple houses and I see them eating a lot of it. it’s also not as toxic to pets as you might think. If you really want to get rid of mice you need a combo of bucket traps, electronic traps, and deterrents like peppermint/garlic oil based spray which are irritating to rodents. But in general for vehicles since you can’t close off all cavities it’s more of an issue of choosing where to keep your vehicle and getting unlucky. I’ve had a few rodent issues but one was a squirrel living under the hood (in the SOUTH) that met an unfortunate demise when the car was started and it got caught in a belt. The other were mice that moved into the spare tire of my Subaru because I left it parked for long periods of time but they didn’t eat anything.
My mom’s dog almost died from eating d-CON. The vet pumped the dog’s stomach. It was a small dog and maybe a large amount of d-CON. Despite that experience the dog still tried to get into the d-CON in my mom’s basement, so she decided that isn’t really an option with a dog in the house. A friend of mine had a similar experience. Also a small dog.
I hear you can keep a cat in the tonneau storage area.
Get the commercial stuff... it works wonders.
Oh yeah baby.... I love that stuff... works like a charm!
So they (Lexus ) knew of vulnerability and designed & manufactured pieces.
That was my vehicle and cat… I suspect a rodent was involved and that’s what caused my cat to enter the Cybertruck. If you watch my video, you’ll see the cat was searching under our vehicles just minutes after being rescued, as if she was looking for something. She is an avid hunter chasing down mice And squirrels on a daily basis, and the temperature had just started getting cold where I live.
