I opened the glovebox and found that a mouse has stored bird seed and also left poop. Any idea how it gets into the car let alone the glovebox?

I found a mouse nest in my air filter box a couple years ago. No idea how it scrambled in there.

LOL! Although it is not funny based on a friends's experience.

I helped a friend trap 8 in his A220 last fall.

He had found a bundle (two fists full) of nesting material in the space under the trunk, which included seat stuffing. As best we can gather, the mice pulled that out of the back seats from the bottom.

They did not appear to eat wiring. He's started up the car and driven and no faults, etc.

As someone said before, it's essentially impossible to keep mice out of your car, well, unless you have a cat in the garage (but then cat prints on the car etc).

Some suggestions:

1) NO poison. They will eat it, go off and die, and your car will smell for 1-2 weeks;

2) No sticky traps (personal note - I just don't like them).

3) Set multiple traps - that really did the trick for my friend (one in the space under the trunk, one in the trunk, and 1-2 in the car. Check every day (I checked when he was away on travel). He used cheese - yes, mice really like cheese!

4) In an adjacent garage, he used mouse bat. There were some rats in there, but that keeps the population under control.
