I’ve never had an issue with any vehicles except the two Subaru’s that I’ve had. Both of them have had huge mouse nests on top of the cabin air filter within months of being bought.  Any tips for keeping the mice out of my HVAC plenums?

So, would this come under de-Forestation?

No idea, I never had any issue, but I also made my own filters from HVAC filters

Rub cayenne pepper on the outside side of the cabin air filter. Animals won’t like it. The filter will keep the cayenne from entering the HVAC system.

3. Rub pepper on the filter (11)

But then how would I keep the cat from walking across the top of the car and leaving little kitty footprints on it?

You wouldn’t. You would wear cat prints with pride.

Mice don’t like pee smell. Obviou sly, you should piss on your cabin air filter. Should keep em out.

That’s not too far-fetched of an idea, actually . It’s a lot like  the rodent tape they have for wiring harness.
