Mice are attracted to the warmth and seclusion that a car offers. Add to this food particles and paper for nesting, and your car turns into a desirable residence for rodents. The key to ousting them is twofold - removing their access and cutting off their food supply. In case of a severe infestation, you might need professional pest control service but here are few things you can do yourself:
1. Clean your vehicle thoroughly
2. Seal up any entry points
3. Use traps
4. Use repellants
5. Avoid leaving your vehicles unattended for long periods of time.

Driving as little as possible after dark is safety tip number one. But sometimes, especially when the days grow shorter, that simply isn't an option. To maximize your vision:
1. Use your brights at night in almost all cases, except when there are oncoming cars.
2. Don't economize. When buying a new or used car, look for models with top-rated headlights.
3. When given a choice, opt for the best headlights available.
4. If your car is several years old, consider getting your headlights and casings replaced.
5. Keep your windshield and headlights cleaned, for obvious reasons.
6. Reset the illumination levels of your dashboard lights and any in-car screens to low. Bright light inside makes it harder to see outside.

Normally, you're going to see some sparks and may even feel a surge of electrical current. This is because the reverse polarity causes the current to flow in the opposite direction, which can lead to damage or even personal injury.

Connecting the cables backwards can also damage the vehicle?s electrical system and the battery itself. As a result, you might experience malfunctions in different components or a dead battery that won?t take a charge.

While all this information might sound scary, modern vehicles often have built-in safeguards to prevent significant damage. Nevertheless, you?ll always want to double-check the connections before jumping your car to avoid any potential mishaps.
