The past 2yrs pack rats or field mice have gotten in to my truck while hunting my favorite spot, or camping in other locales, as evidenced by chewed up paper towels and holes in a bag of trail mix. Other than a small mess, thankfully no chewed up wires or other damage has been incurred. I've since been removing all food from the cab, but I noticed chewed up tissues on my last camping trip so the little bastards are still attracted and getting in. I searched the google machine but have read mixed reviews about various solutions - dryer sheets, peppermint oil etc. Dryer sheets seem to get a thumbs up, but there is no common consensus on them or anything else. Has anyone used dryer sheets, peppermint or other remedies successfully to keep critters out? Any advice is much appreciated.
