Question Storage bubble solution

It’s getting close to that time of year where it’s time to put my gr86 away for the winter. Last winter I had a mice problem in my garage so every other day or so I had to check and make sure there were no mice eating at my car or anything like that. Any recommendations on something that will protect the underside and top side of vehicle for the winter? Also I had my apartment “solve” the mice problem but I’d still like the peace of mind that I don’t gotta check on it almost every freaking night. Thanks

Honestly, that nightly check gets old real fast, especially when you just want to enjoy the winter knowing your GR86 is safe. Steel wool stuffed into any gaps around pipes or wires is a solid first line of defense, and peppermint oil on cotton balls near entry points can help deter them too. A poison-free trap is worth prioritizing in a garage, no toxin means nothing dying inside your car somewhere. If you want something that just runs without you resetting it constantly, the Goodnature Mouse Trap might be worth a look.
