Mice in Cab

Besides mice coming in thru the vent under the cowl, is there any other places where they could be coming in ? There is no evidence at the cabin filter.. There are black plastic vents behind the cab, can they get in there ??

 

Nah thats pretty much the big area under the cowl. Look at this guy's thread on blocking that off. I had mice in my truck for a few weeks. Turned my filter in to a nest, had to lay glue traps around the cab floor to get em all.

That's what I did years ago and it worked great in my country-setting... no mice since completed!

 

I had a mouse chew through the cabin filter and get into the cab in my '21 DC. I did the mouse proofing mentioned above and have no issues since. Always thought it a bit odd that I never had an issue with my now nearly 20 year old '05, but it only took a few weeks for a mouse to get in my '21.

 

Thanks, cabin filter wasn't chewed or any sign of a nest in there..so looking at other places. But will block that off..

 

Check your steering shaft seal at the firewall

 

Yup, checking all rubber grommets and seals

 

Found this so far, along with one in a trap, & another baby..No nest found as yet...

 

Did the seal under the hood job. Still have evidence of a mouse

 

I had packrats get in my truck, had one stuck in the cabin filter. For me the best deterrent was keeping the area around my house and truck clean as well las keeping my hood up

 

I may have to do the hood thing. Leave surrounded by corn fields and the field mice are out of control
