Surprise!!

Took the Telly in for the 30K service which included taking a look at the "cabin air filter".....look what they found!! I have taken the vehicle frequently to our cabin in Vermont over the two years I have had the car......never thought to look at the cabin filter! Guess I will now AND reload my 22 rifle and get back to fighting the squirrels!!

Still cannot figure out how they were put in there.....know for sure there is no nooks or crannies with enough space for either a squirrel or chipmunk to physically get into the intake space. So....whatever did it must have "dropped" them in there somehow

So another question, no smell? Vermin sh*t where they eat so I would be surprised is not. I have a barn on my property and all my small engine items being infested is always a concern.. That intake has a vent to the outside also to draw the air in and pass over the filter.

No smell at all .....no evidence of any poop.....so again, I don't think the critter could get IN there, but was somehow shoving the acorns in. Part of the difficulty for me is this is the first look at this filter in 33k miles....so the acorns could have been dropped in one of our stays at our place in the woods or perhaps over a period of several stays during the past 2 years......I'm going to be using a very bright flashlight to try and find the "access point!" Another interesting point is that there was no "rattling sound" from the acorns!
