Angry Is This Possible
I checked my air filter today in my 96 SR5 and found it was full of pieces of torn paper towels and something else . I'm not sure how the air is drawn in so could some kind of rodent made a home for itself during winter or someone stuffed it in there. These weren't the kind of garage gray towels but the white kind you find in a home kitchen. Not going to remove the filter untill i vacumm all that crap out. It spends most if the time not being used but did go back forth to work when we had snow.

Very much when a vehicle is parked for a long period. I have my landcruiser parked most of the time so I keep the hood open when I am at home to drive any potential rodents away. Dark places are the favorite nesting grounds for rodents.

How did it get in. I hope it didn't chew through the air cleaner and was in the air chamber

When a vehicle is parked for long periods of time during the winter, rodents will look for a nice dark safe place to build a nest. I use Tom Cat bait traps, one at each wheel. They eat the bait & go die somewhere. I have no nest's in my 3RZ which has been sitting since Nov.

I parked my Accord in the garage for a month when DDing my Limited & found eaten eggcorns & nuts crumbs in the engine bay but no nests.

Definitely a critter! The stock elbow opens up into the fender area, so he climbed the tire, went up the fender wall and found a nice cozy hole to make a home!

Well he or she didn't hurt anything so its cool. The garage door was closed all winter and i know one lives in there, seen it. Came out when running the snow blower guess it was the exhaust. We had a cat in their once and we feed him so to say thanks he left a mouse out our side door. Would have liked it better if he let the mouse live.
