Will it make my car smell if I spray it all over the engine? I've got to get rid of the rats.

i really would not suggest this. a hot engine would affect the formula in unknown ways

In the interior, you will likely breathe fumes . . . the new car smell is plastic volatile compounds evaporating at ambient temperature into your lungs.

I assume doing that would eliminate existing odors. I spray it nearly everywhere.

I still have a slight smell. I also have air fresheners in the car vents. Try leaving your windows open and moonroof as often as possible weather permitting it definitely helps get rid of the smell

I have had no issues in my vehicle with any odor. I have the on the inner firewall and inside the hood which gets quite warm. Just use a roller to make sure it sticks. Sounds like a good idea you have.

Thanks for the question :) Yes if anything will it will. Nothing will remove strong odors like Ozone and this is our most powerful model. So yes it should remove it no problem. If you look at the New Comfort Ozone Air Purifiers even a less powerful model should work just fine for a car like that. We have heard from customers who use these that they remove the smoke smell and the new paint smell so I am sure it would work for you no problem.Thanks DustinGreatVacs (Seller)

Avoid at all costs. This will leave your car smelling like a chemical factory for weeks

Since the installation is in a "under construction" vehicle and is exposed, I cannot give an answer. I did use the Boom mat spray in my Challenger a week ago and there is no odor. And the road noise is down considerably.

Cathy, You are correct. The trap uses a mix of pheromones that can get quite "stinky". Outside you may notice it when you're within 5 feet or so of the trap. Inside the home? I'm sure you'd be able to notice the smell a lot further away and I can't imagine it would be acceptable. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

OOH I wouldn't use it in cars! It's very potent smelling! I would perhaps look for the wasp issue itself so it doesn't get in your car. Locate the nest thingies they make and spray it to death with a specific wasp product (preferably one that allows you to stay away the heck back!). However, if you can handle the smell of bug spray and don't mind having a car full of the heady cloud of insect spray, I cannot imagine why it wouldn't work on them directly. For a wasp, I'd spray it until it pretty much drowned in the stuff though. You can't trust wasps not to retaliate. I use it for flies and seed moths and it works perfectly ...just very potently stinky. OOH I wouldn't use it in cars! It's very potent smelling!

The first few I bought didn't smell but the last 3-4 did. It goes away but as I have a cleaning service, I have to let the motor run in my house a few hours before taking it on the road.

I never noticed that smell. I'm in Michigan and I got this to use in the garage to dry out the melted snow that dripped off the cars. Worked great for that task and it was operating on high overnight almost every day this winter. I did bring it in the house this Spring to dry out the carpet after shampooing and have not noticed any smell, so perhaps it did go away if it was there initially. It was used a lot this winter.

Yes it has a smell but if you leave it for 1-2 days outside in your garage before you install it the car the smell will be gone.

No, but this is okay. The smell is a bit too strong for my car. If you have a back vent system in your car, its better if you put it there

I had rats chew on my engine cables 3 times - finally was told the trick is to place some Bounce Dryer Sheets under the hood - they hate the odor and won't nest there anymore

I don't know what your engine looks like, but you might try putting some of the mouse magic in a gauze pouch so the it can be smelled by the mice. Secure it somewhere in the engine, but away from heat, you don't want the gauze to catch fire.

I have never had mine emit this smell, so I would recommend you check to make sure you took all the adhesive film off all the surfaces. If you have already done that, then I would send it back if you can.
