Yes. Plasma. Worked great.

I lit this test left handed for mahomes.

I have an issue I'm hoping someone has a known-proven solution to resolve.

I have a work vehicle that was left in a shop-garage all winter. Mice got into it and wreaked havoc. I've dealt with the obvious grossness of turds in cup holders and cleaned out the other messes previously. The new issue arose when turning on the AC...stinks to hades.

I had the cabin filter changed and a dead mouse was removed from the fan area inside the dash. It still stinks like hell.

I've heard rumors of some ozone treatment or something, but I was hoping someone here knows the right answer about what to do.

Air compressor and fucking blow everything?

The next thing I'm going to try is blowing lysol or something into the air intake vents. If there is a guru product or can't miss, I'm interested.

We had a spare chevy work truck that the seat caught fire by a loose cig butt. It melted the bench seat before it could be extinguished. The boss took it to Royal Auto and upholstery at about 47th and Troost near the Plaza where we had an office then. They refoamed the seats and upholstered it and used some sort of Jasmine scented liquid to kill the oder. We like the burnt smell better that jasmine never went away, something like that will cover it but it may be worse than dead animal smell.

That's exactly what I would try first. Perhaps mist some bleach water in there? That would also have the bonus feature of killing off any hantavirus it would come into contact with. Just be careful not to over do it and have it come into contact with a bunch of electronic equipment like a radio.

These may not matter to you at all, but it IS a covered loss, at least for most policies.

I was getting ready to replace the liner on my Camaro after I got in one spring and a goddamn mouse had gone in through the visor and built a cozy little nest in there over the winter. Called my agent on a lark and he said "yup, comp claim, send it on over...."

So rather than drop $1,000 having that re-done, I was out my $50 comp deductible and they did it for me. Evidently animal damage is covered. My dad said they had a fleet vehicle get totaled once when an animal got in there and died, funked it up so badly they couldn't get the stink out.

I mean if it's covered (and it's evidently not a 'chargeable event' so it shouldn't impact your rates), you just send it somewhere and they deal with that shit for you.

Just a thought...

This stuff works pretty well also.

I would pull the radio, and clean the top of that, if they managed to get that high? Blow some air through the vents with an air compressor from the inside of the car to flush the turds out. I would definitely wear a mask rated for an airborne virus. Like I said before, hantavirus is nothing to mess with. Once the radio is out, you should be able to douche things up pretty good through the vents etc. When I spent several years in the car business, I think I had to deal with every kind of smell out there at one time or the other.

What I was thinking was lysol into the vent under the hood and windshield...that air intake. I saw that on the yoootooob.

Misting bleach water into the vents from the inside also makes sense.

Kill it with fire Iowa

I don't know if Lysol kills hantavirus or not, I would dig into it. Bleach water will, but it would take a bit more time for that to dissipate. I knew a gal that died from hantavirus a couple a years ago and after that, I'm more careful around mouse crap.

I have used an ozone spray in all vehicles. dodges seem to get moldy over the winter.

Cant hurt. Not sure how well it works on mice

My brother-in-law can take apart a car engine, clean it, and put it back together perfectly: he can tear down a shitty single layer deck and create a 3 level masterpiece; he can do plumbing, electric and sheetrock; he can build an entire house; he can build furniture and built-in shelving; he can pretty much do any handyman task.

I on the other hand can't do jack shit including trying to use a saw, a T square or a hammer! I'm fucking useless as a craftsman. I only know how to Google search to hire one.

You might want to make sure the drain for the evaporator housing in not clogged. Even if it's only clogged a little bit it can still leave some nasty smelling water sloshing around in the bottom.
