Rande,
The problem with moth balls is that the smell permeates your whole
interior. Then you have to live with the smell every time you drive.
When I was in those cold climates, I used glue traps next to the wall on
each side of every door. You will need to change them out regularly.
One winter I started putting little marks on the wall every time I
trashed one. Quit counting somewhere around 30. If you see one mouse,
there are probably a lot more.
Good Luck,
Mark
