No blood spatters - but they do leak.

Mouse needs water - will leave when thirsty. When hungry it will start chewing. If it's confused with the changing weather and thinks it has to build a nest then it will chew soft materials (especially foam) to make a nest. Very destructive.

Get a few different types of trap and leave them around the car. And leave them there after you've caught the first one - they don't exist as individuals. Replace the effective trap exactly as before - the scent of the previous mouse will attract the next one.

Are you sure it isn't just a piece of trim squeaking?
