Winter storage / Storage in general

So I have a strange problem I am wanting to attempt to resolve.

When I put my car away for winter storage I due the usual 'rodent proofing' with a bar of Irish spring on the floor of the back seat and a bar in the trunk, never had an issue with mice inside the vehicle.

Now the issue I am having is my exhaust tips. The are slightly upswept and mice tend to store food in my rear muffler, is there anything I can do to keep them out of there? I start my car on nicer days and when it gets to temp I will rev up the exhaust to force anything out and I have never actually seen mice in the exhaust and the car runs fine but there is usually stuffing from something and seeds / nuts just inside the exhaust.

I really want to keep them out so they don't make a home in there and possibly blocking the exhaust completely resulting in mechanical problems.

Any ideas?

I've heard that these thing shoved in the exhaust pipes work well:

That's what I was going to say. Pot Scrubber up the pipe.

While you are there get a 5gal bucket, some peanut butter, antifreeze, piture frame wire, if you dont already have those. Make a bucket trap, or a few put them around the car.

The irish spring is a mouse repellant myth. google search Moused chewed irish spring scroll down for what a bucket trap is
