mouse smell

[vintovka]

Mine sat for years and the mice took almost all the original horsehair and cotton stuffing out of the seats to build huge nests underneath. Stench was overwhelming. Between the pee. poop and dead ones i had to go in about level 1 protection and remove everything. The covers, residual padding and piles of mouse nest and bits burned. The cab and seat metal power washed and "rust -stopped" before repairing and recovering. Think the pee actually caused some of the metal and springs to deteriorate.

Might add due to the lift (see link pics) the deer used it everynight as a motel. The coons and cats would sleep in the engine compartment. Damn things would suddenly jump up, slam their heads hard on the chassis, hood or bed and tear out for the brush when disturbed. Deer/rodent borne disease, fleas and ticks are another reason i went with sanitizing the cab and burning the debris.
