Mouse Remediation

The car has an obvious mouse problem. The interior reeks, and droppings can be seen everywhere. I removed the front bench the first day I had the car to see what was underneath. No evidence of mice in the front bench thankfully, though poop everywhere. Today I started the unpleasant task of cleaning up the mice crap. I had placed a couple of mousetraps in the car the past two days, and this morning I found a mouse in one of them. An auspicious way to start my day.

I removed the rear seat and found a couple of long dead mice and evidence of a nest. Also found what appears to be the original factory speaker

There is mouse detritus inside that crossbeam and it's really hard to clean out

There was a nest underneath the rear seat. After cleaning up the junk on the outside, doesn't appear to be anything up inside the springs (at least that I can see)

By far the largest nest was in the front of the headliner. It was crazy big. More info on that in the next post. Here's half of it:
