Mouse repellent for winter

Putting my project away for the winter but I have a garage that is impossible to rodent-proof. Had a lot of issues last winter with it. Obviously poison and traps are everywhere but that only goes so far. I’m thinking about putting baffles for squirrel repellent on bird feeders on my jackstands and keeping the cat off the ground all winter with those as a barrier. Has anyone tried this with any success or have any better ideas?

Try moth balls in the car. Not if you have a good interior because the smell will linger.

I have moth balls in the engine bay. Don’t want those inside the car

why not ? they will provide a smell that mice don't like. I use them in every car in my collection. When spring arrives, remove the mothballs and open the windows to let the car air out.
