Advice for dealing with mouse in vehicle
Returned to the trailhead after a short backpacking trip to find a few mouse droppings (5-6 visible, it's possible there's more not openly visible) in my vehicle. Aired out the car before driving back home, it was really late so I just pulled everything out of the car and bagged it up to clean + set a few spring traps overnight (no activity yet).
Looking for advice with the following
* Removal / Extermination: Any rodents that may have hitched a ride home. Tips on trapping them, finding their hiding spots, etc.
* Cleaning: How to disinfect and clean the car
* Prevention: Tips on how to best keep it from happening again. I spend a lot of time at trailheads where a warm car is an inviting place for them, and I've heard they leave a scent trail that others tend to follow
Looking to avoid damage to the vehicle and prevent an infestation. Appreciate your help :)
4th gen 4runner, if that's relevant
Wore gloves and a mask, no worries there
