Default Unwanted guests living in our corvette

Pulled the vette out of storage on friday and it didnt take long to realize i had some squatters living in it over winter. I have never done anything special to it but i have now realized next year it is a must to take precautions.

I dont want to use moth balls...
What do you guys use?

Car is going to the dealer to have the dash pulled and cleaned.......Car came out of storage on friday and thats when the problem was found......Then the car had a ride on a flatbed on saturday do to a (system column lock) which makes the car not driveable do to the fact it does not stay running....I think that problem is a little ironic......In the hands of the insurance company now.....

My trans am and CTS v were never intruded upon by mice. Dryer sheets and tons of decon around them. My cars were stored in a pole barn addition off of a old hip roof style hay barn. So u no damn well there's mice galore. But they knew better than to monkey around with my whips.
