Paul,
You can use moth balls in cloth bags in every possible place they would nest. It
would be a real good idea to remove the seats and store them indoors. Those
rodents love to make their nests in with all that cotton and stuff.
Way back in '70 I stored my 59 TR3 outdoors while in service and returned to
find a nest in every seat, plus a few in the engine compartment. Not only will
you find their nest but all sorts of seeds, droppings and sometimes skeletal
remains!!
