Neat. I can see that. I recall mixing Dr. Bonners peppermint soap with
water and spraying that all over tires, around fender wheels, around
the bus before storing it for some time. I doubt it did squat to deter
or confuse rodents though.

Idea for GoWesty R&D (tongue in cheek, mostly joking)

"Cat 'n Mouse Mat"

Mat would have scent of cat or similar that mice might avoid. Drive
your bus onto mat.
