Congratulations on one for the price of two with the traps
For several years now, we have been fighting mouse attacks in our vehicles. So far, no (discovered) wiring damage, but major cabin HVAC and engine air filter repairs.
I have had to pay for replacing the cabin air filter, replacing the AC/heating cabin fan that requires R&R the dash area, installing 1/8" hardware cloth on the outside air intake, cleaning up shredded napkins, paper towels, facial tissue, piles of sunflower seed hulls brought in from the bird feeder. Before a trip, I tossed an unopened bag of blue corn chips on the dash after 11:00 PM. It was opened and chips were strewn around the dash in the morning. No thank you notes were left, the ingrates!
Thus far, no entrance into the Hawk (knock, knock, knock). However, relief has come from an unexpected source, the local John Deere dealer. They recommended "Fresh Cab Rodent Repellent" which they sell and use at the local Pape dealer.

The bags contain what appears to be sawdust saturated with Balsam Fir oil. On hot days, the smell of Balsam fir oil can be a little overwhelming, but I have adjusted to it and for the last 5 or 6 months, no more mice inside the cab. A bag lasts for several weeks before the smell diminishes significantly enough to replace the bag.
I had bought "Rodent Defense" spray and used it but it was not as effective as the bags.
My guess is that mice don't like camping in evergreen forests. either, but who knows?

I thought getting old would take longer.
