Winter - Mice Nest location warning

Howdy, could be any type but I have found mice nests down in the engine, under the intake manifold (2002 Ford V 10). Look out for them there. Also couple years ago they ate my paper air filter and it wrecked my MAF (Mass Air Flow ) sensor.

Just sayin look out for them and the damage they cause....
  • They like to build a nest in the cavity below the a/c compressor on my Suburban.
    They can be a PIA.
    Interestingly, I just bought a car from my neighbor who had it parked in front of his shop for the past 3 yrs. I was expecting to find a mess of feces/urine and nests caused by rats and mice. When I started cleaning it up, I didn’t see one sign of anything.
    He has feral cats and chickens that hang out around the shop so I’m thinking hey are the best prevention.
    Time to get cats and chickens. LOL.
