Protecting Classic Pickup From Mice Chewing Wiring During Long-Term Storage

Published 09/22/2025

Question:

My ’72 Ford F-100 sits all winter in my detached garage. Would the MouseBlocker Pro 12V MB94FR keep mice from chewing the wiring?

Henry, yes, the MouseBlocker Pest Control Pro # MB94FR is built for long-term storage of vehicles like your classic truck. It wires directly to the 12V system and uses barely more power than a nightlight. If you don’t run a battery maintainer, I’d suggest checking voltage occasionally, since the Pro will shut down automatically if the battery drops too low as a safety feature to protect your truck's battery.

Do you plan to run a tender on that old Ford?
