    Greetings,
    Has anyone used Ozium Air Sanitizer?
    Pretty sure there is a mouse nest somewhere in the air system of my 2000 Tacoma. AC/heat blows out mouse nest smell. Has been this way for 6 months. Smell not horrible but it's there. Considering running Ozium through air intake. Alternative is paying someone $1100 to tear apart the dash.
    Thanks

    The squirrel cage comes out really easy... you can get to some of the housing from there.

    100%, kills organic matter and makes your car smell like fresh electronics.

    Squirrel cage, aka blower fan. Pull out the blower fan, see if your deadmous is there. Look up the piping from that point once you remove it for other debris that can be reached

    ok, ya did that. Got a little nest material out with a shop vac, but none of it was actually in the blower motor, where I was lucky enough to find a different nest years ago.

    Many years ago I knew a kid who said he was friends with the son of the guy who invented Ozium. Son said his Dad developed it for use in morgues so think it would work on a dead mouse smell.

    Once you have the fan out, you can access a lot of the system from there.

    I've been using it for about 20 years now. It's the best way to kill weird smells.

    Have you tried cleaning out the AC drip tray. They sell foams that you shoot up the AC drain tube and clean out the gunk. Sometimes mouse pee will get caught in there and make weird smells.

    Rebuilding seats with leather from furniture and extra padding. Might put leather on the dash and other interior parts.
    Could always tell when someone was smoking weed in the dorms cuz it smelled like ozium.
    When I got my taco it did not smell like something that didn't have a butthole. I used an ozone generator for a couple days and a can of lysol. Now my taco smells like not a butthole.
    O3 not good for rubber stuff, so maybe not use that alot. It was a Peet boot dryer add-on to unstink shoes.
    Center dash cover comes off pretty easy, just 2 screws, gives some access to ducting.
