If you'd bother to read my replies, You'd find its not dirty and I work in the food company, thus meaning my car smells like food. Along with this, I'm positive they're in the car for shelter due to the cold weather.

hey it happens. mice are notorious for seeking shelter from warmth.

I have trouble believing a clean car would attract rats. Maybe you should do a better job of getting the smell out of your car then you wouldn't have that problem. Still say you deserved it.

Excuse me? I do a good job at cleaning my car, But since I have to work easily over ten hours around the holidays I can't spray it down every time I come home at midnight. I also park nearby garbage cans since our driveway isn't very large and we have three cars. We've already determined that the Rats came into my car from the cold weather. Don't tell me I need to do a better job cleaning my car. Say I deserve it all you want, But don't tell me I need to do a better job at cleaning it.

Pretty sure I already did.

Way to be such an insufferable ****

rats are actually very clean animals. I've owned several and even raised a litter. they don't actually like to be dirty. if they get into anything dirty they immediately start to clean themselves when they're out of it.

@corky1992, don't be such a closed minded twit. Have you ever worked a day that you felt like doing nothing when you got home? Have you ever worked in the food industry and washed your uniform to find it still smells of food although it's clean? Welcome to the real world. Things like that ACTUALLY happen. The same can be said for a vehicle that constantly has aromatic food in it. Plus it doesn't matter how clean it is, if it's shelter from the cold, animals will seek it out. Get the corn cob out of your bum!

Just to clear this up for you, I have two rather safe rat traps outside of our fence around the garbage can where the infestation started out. Away from the kittens that are indoors, As we've already had problems with them sneaking out. I'd much rather be able to humanely catch them but that isn't a option as we don't have the money to pay for DIY traps and such. I'll be getting snap traps tomorrow for the car. Thank you for the concern and such, though!

Please read my responses. I've determined the rats came into my car from the food smell since I work in pizza delivery, And it's cold out. Since I work in food delivery, I actually keep my car very clean since I'm in it so often.
