I know this all too well. Had the little buggers make a hotel out of my car once, storing it over winter as you have. Ended up removing the entire dashboard and heating/vent duct system to clean out nests, and debris, poo and piss everywhere... took me all summer. The car should have been totaled.

Your best friend would be snap traps set inside with peanut butter as bait and lotsa moth balls around the ground where they can climb up. You'll have to replace moth balls frequently if it's subject to rain snow etc.

you could also do outside poison traps around the area like they do for businesses and offices etc.

I learned the lesson the hard way. I didn't prepare. Don't make the same mistake.
