Pull the blower motor behind the passenger side kick panel.

I'd be interested to find out how they get in. I had a chocolate bar in the door pocket that was mostly eaten by a mouse. Further investigation found shredded paper towel made into a nest under the rear seat. Might be a body vent some place I've never seen.

well look what I found, the little bastard looking at me. now to figure out how he got in.

That's a wonderful job to reach up in there and grab a decomposing body.

My Camaro's HVAC has a nest and corpse(s) in it somewhere. Along with seeds and all kinds of nasty things scattered throughout. They made a mess of the interior of that car in about a month time that it was sitting in my garage last fall. I cleaned up some, but haven't dug through everything yet. I need a full body suit PPE to deal with this...

Bounce dryer sheets is supposed to keep them away. And your ride smells fresh when you take it out.

I've heard that. My whole car smells laundry fresh as I packed it full of those things, both inside and under the hood to drive them away and keep them out from doing further damage until I can get it cleaned and fixed up fully.

I never heard of the dryer sheets to repel rodents. Just mothballs. The dryer sheets defiantly smell better.

That mouse was going "Peek A Boo".

yeah his head was almost cut off. latex gloves and a mask but the stench almost kicked in the vomit reflex. thoroughly cleaned the whole thing even the blood dripping into the blower squirrel cage.

02 and 03's had the door, the 04+ you have to cut out the trim and add the door.

I tried mothballs one fall / winter in the S2000 - and both me and the wife swore that off afterward - we were smelling camphor the entire driving season, even with the top down. Gaaaah....

Peppermint oil is supposed to keep them away. Put some on a cottonball. Not a ton - just a drop or two on each ball, as it's pretty strong as well.
If you're driving the vehicle, maybe 1 drop...LOL. And maybe you'll save on air freshener, too!
