    This could lead to mouse lock if they build up in the cylinders.

    You don't buy cats. They just show up for free. Trust me, we got four of them that way. :)

    Good way to deter mice and rats, and maybe all other rodents is tie a couple dryer sheets around your engine, like on lines and such. 2-3 should be plenty.
    They don’t like the smell, especially when warmed by the engine, which is why them enter the engine bay most of the time, to get warm in there.
    This is what we do all the time at my work his time of year with weather cooling down.
