Any body found a good way to help get rid of the urine smell from these little critters? I have a 54 chevy and they got in pretty heavy. I've pulled the headliner and cleaned but I would like to spray something to help get rid of the smell. Any suggestions? Thanks
Rodents, including squirrels, mice, and rats, may construct their nests in cars, trucks, campers, and other vehicles, especially if such vehicles are used infrequently. Rodent nesting materials can be found in many areas of a vehicle. When you begin cleaning, it is important that you do not stir up dust by sweeping or vacuuming up droppings, urine, or nesting materials. Wear rubber, latex, or vinyl gloves when cleaning urine and droppings. Spray the urine and droppings with a disinfectant or a mixture of bleach and water and let soak 5 minutes. The recommended concentration of bleach solution is 1 part bleach to 10 parts water. When using a commercial disinfectant, following the manufacturer’s instructions on the label for dilution and disinfection time. Use a paper towel to pick up the urine and droppings, and dispose of the waste in the garbage. After the rodent droppings and urine have been removed, disinfect items that might have been contaminated by rodents or their urine and droppings.
I've had decent results with the products you can buy at pet stores for getting rid of pet urine odor. I don't have a brand name but look for something industrial strength. It will probably take more than one application, I had a car that the smell kept coming back, especially if it was humid. Probably sprayed the interior seven or eight times over the course of several years. The smell hasn't come back for a couple years now.
