I've used scented dryer sheets for 10+ years and have never had a mouse issue.

Fortunately, there was no wiring harness damage (and I did check carefully).

It was busy building a nest using bits of the carpet and insulation.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Several years ago, I lifted the cover over the spare tire in my MGC GT, which was parked in my garage, and a mouse ran out. It was busy building a nest using bits of the carpet and insulation.
My brother(mastertech in SC) just had a pristine 981 totaled, due to rat damage. Car is less then three yrs old, only driven 6000 miles, parked in climate controlled garage on Kiawah island in second home so not driven for many months at a time.
Well...997's I can understand. No self-respecting rodent would lower him/herself to naw on a lowly 996. Us poor folks are safe.
Actually, I have a 300ZX that sits outside mostly undriven especially since I bought my 911 and mice do like it. Built a nest around the starter motor and have been eating the undercoating off the frame. No wiring damage noted as of yet. I did the moth cakes and sprinkle cayenne pepper under the hood and around the car last fall. So...maybe they do inhabit cheaper cars, too.
I had quite a few acorns, a bunch of fur and assorted droppings on top of my engine when I took it apart. I think it was from last summer when the car was sitting out in my driveway for a few months. Fortunately, there was no wiring harness damage (and I did check carefully). I'm definitely going to place a few strategic moth ***** in the engine bay this summer...
I've read the dryer sheet thing is an urban myth. I get the moth "cakes" that advertise "no lasting odor when removed". It is true within about 10 minutes of removing with frunk left open; smell gone.

I found a nest under my speedster's (replica) battery once, the heat did them all in when parked outside (summer in Va)...Fortunately no damage but it sure smelled for a couple of weeks before I made the discovery.
I now see the upside to living in a rehydrated desert full of hawks, falcons, and snakes. If I had a mouse problem, that would be easy to fix...getting rid of the snakes would be the hard part.
Guess what this is:
Went out in the garage this morning, yes, they are attacking, little mice feet scrapes on the wheel.
And yes, sorry guys, the wheels need cleaning, but hey it's a daily driver, and no time to wash the car frequently. I should get the hollow spoke Turbo twists, the mice probably would avoid those. What do you think, should I try this: "Hey honey, I really need the hollow spokes because then the mice will go away". Think this line will work?
All I can say is not to bother with mouse/rat poison pellets in the garage. My experience is that they just tend to gather it and store it. When changing the battery in my Road King last summer, I found they'd stored all the poison pellets for later consumption in my battery box, where it formed a solid cake. Luckily, no wire damage. Mechanical traps are all I use now.
