I left my 87 Westy at the shop for three weeks = while it was being worked on (problem turned out to be a clogged cat.). = I dismissed the funky smell after I picked it up because I was eager to = get going. However, By the time I got to my destination, I = noticed that there were mice feces all over the place-they went = everywhere but inside the fridge!. I soon discovered that we left = some dried food in one of the cabinets and the mice had made a nest out = the of insulation from behind the wall by the water tank. The = Westy smells like an aquarium even after I vacuumed and washed = everything. I hope the smell will abate after I steam-clean the = interior, but a lot of the smell seems to be coming from behind the = wall where they made the nest. I plan to spray a can of Lysol = behind there unless someone has a better idea.
Lesson learned: don't leave food other = than canned food in your van-especially in the Fall when animals are = looking for a warm nesting place. A mouse trap or sonic pest = deterrence device might be a good idea when you store your van or leave = it parked for a while. ><><><><><><><&= gt;<><><><><><><><><&= gt;<><><><>J
