They enter through:
- Open vents, cracked seals, firewall gaps
- Under-door gaps or garage breaches
- Even through air intake systems if unsealed
Even the smallest gaps can become highways for determined pests seeking shelter.

What's at Risk: Pest Damage to Collector Cars
Rodents don't care if it's a '69 Mustang or a Ferrari F40. To them, it's warm, quiet, and full of chewable insulation.
Wiring harnesses chewed through
triggers warning lights, misfires, or engine failure
HVAC and A/C systems destroyed
rodents nest in ducts or filters
Upholstery and leather ruined
nesting with seat stuffing or headliner insulation
Fluid lines and vacuum hoses
gnawed fuel lines risk leaks and fires
Interior contamination
droppings, urine, and foul odors require full detail/restoration
Insurance often doesn't cover
vermin exclusion clauses leave you fully liable
Critical Statistics
Rodent damage causes over $1 billion in vehicle repairs annually and collector cars are prime targets in quiet garages.

Why Collector Cars Are So Vulnerable
Collector cars are often:
Stored for long periods
Extended storage creates perfect conditions for pests
Unmoved, with dust buildup and no vibration
Static environments attract nesting behaviors
Surrounded by warmth and soft materials inside garages
Ideal temperature and nesting materials
Left undisturbed exactly what rodents seek
Quiet spaces are prime real estate for pests
No traps. No chemicals. No chewed wires.
