Mice In Heater

[Shavoy]

Hi- The 2005 GMC gas 3500 dump I bought had mice living in the heater box before I bought it. Is there any way to take it apart to clean it? I still have a nasty smell in the cab not to mention the occasional acorn and seeds that still blow out. Where do the mice get in?

 

Thanks!

Mice can get in ANYWHERE. The tiniest opening and they are in. You may be best off pulling the blower out and cleaning it that way.

Organic Yard maybe you should message this guy and ask him since he has some experience.

Maybe something died in there.

 

Have you tried to see how easy the blower motor can be removed. Usually there is only like 3 bolts holding that in, maybe if you take that out you can, fit a vacum cleaner hose in through there, Shop-Vac of course. Also I remember this little tip take a can of Lysol and turn on your blower so that the air from the outside is getting pulled in and shoot a whole can in through the air intake vents by the windshield that should help take away the smell. As long as there isn`t a dead rodent in there. If you take him alive you know what to do.

This reminds me of a story, a true one. A buddy of mine bought an old truck from some farmer, and brought it over to show me. It was an old '79 Ford. Any how, we take it for a spin, and the next thing you know, there are about 6 hornets buzzing around in the cab with us. I told him, I think you have a nest in this bitch somewhere. Well, needless to say he got stung, and then all of a sudden he starts hopping around in his seat, smacking his leg, and swirving all over the road. He said, something is crawling up my f***ing leg, I told him to pull over before he get's us both killed. He jumps out of the truck, and pulls his pant's off, only to find that a mouse had crawled up his pant leg. I'm actually wiping the tears out of my eyes as I type this, . We finally found out that there were mice in the heater box, and under the seat, and hornets in the engine bay. I asked him, did you even pop the hood on this pig before you bought it? No, he said, I just wanted a truck.
