Mice made a nest in my glove compartment. They used my registration and insurance card for nest materials.

AAAHHHHHH!

They usually use the Bounce dryer sheets I put in there.

Well at least you don't have them in your attic. The rats up there have chewed thru one of my air ducts. Nice hole in it so they can cool or warm themselves in the attic. Lol, I've got 2 so far. One in a trap and 1 poisoned that I found dead outside and pitched over the fence.

Never been asked for registration when pulled over. Just DL and insurance. He scanned tags on windshield but, I'm in Texas so maybe different in other states.

Yeah, the little ***** have been getting around my vehicles, too. I’ve set out traps multiple times and got one mouse and two wrens. I feel sad for the little birds getting killed that way so I stopped.

I am terrified of mice getting into my stuff, so I do everything (...literally):

Sticky traps - check
Snap traps baited with peanut butter - check
Plug in ultra sonic noise maker - check
Irish spring soap - check
Peppermint oil on cotton balls - check
Bounce dryer sheets - check
"Cab fresh" deterent from Tractor Supply store - check
Poison cubes from TSC - check
Basement cat - check
Bucket of antifreeze with spinning pop can, baited with peanut butter - check

I've seen them eat the Irish spring, make a nest with the dryer sheets and poop on the sonic noise thing (probably as a protest).

I've had the best success with the good old fashioned snap traps (placed strategically so they have to get through a small area to get at them, or placed in pairs so that they get hit with one while they are distracted by the other). Lately I have even been getting them without bait by placing the snap trap in high traffic areas. And the bucket, since it can get multiple victims without resetting.
