Mice in my heater 1995 pont.

On my 1995 Pontiac Grand Am I keep getting mice in my heater blower cage,
and they put paper scraps in it that stops the blower from working.
I had to pull the blower out and vacuumed it out about 4 times this winter.

My question where is the air intake that they are getting inside. Can I put
a screen over it to stop them. I think they are getting in under the hood.

The intake is under the cowl on the right side. If the cowl is in
good shape, they can't get in that way - unless they are very, very small.
Perhaps they are getting in through the water drains on the sides of the
cowl firewall area?

How did you get the blower out? Its normally cut out with a saw and
a new one screwed in.

My husband just found a big Rat living under the hood of my 01 Sunfire -
he obviously had only been there about a week but he had piled empty
acorn shells on top of my battery. Husband discovered him while at gas
station topping up the windshield washer fluid. That rat now has a new
address somewhere around the gas station! But why would a Rat want to
move in under a car hood? And what is a Rat doing with acorn shells?
Glad he didn't poke his nose out at me when I was driving!

doin your nails, mascars, talking on the cell phone, changin the baby

Do all you people with rodent problems live back east? I think its the heat
from the engine... keeps them toasty warm. Most we get in AZ is cats
sleeping under cars when its winter, they must like the radiated warmth from
the engine and exhaust system, plus nobody can sneak up on them.

I live in Victoria BC - we don't have winters here very often - guess
that's why the rats grow so big.
