I'm buying a car that's been sitting and I fear there may be rodents. How would you make absolutely certain it's empty before bringing to your home? Thank you

Take the field cat home with it?
The last one I had, you didn't need to worry about the rats so much as the nests they left. Fired it up alright. Fwoof. Thank god for fire extinguishers. Little bastards built a nest over the first set of converters. They'll be scared bad when it starts moving and try to get away from it. You can't do anything about the babies that are too small to leave, the others will be like rats from a sinking ship.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

I've done this 4 times.....large dense tarp(lined or coated is best...I've actually used a swimming pool liner)....sand to seal the edges....and a 125cu ft CO(yes...you can get Carbon Monoxide) tank....and regulator...cover car....sand around perimeter....cit slit in tarp....30-60 cfm for 5-8 hours....dead everything....tried a generator exhaust running once...didnt work.The Beatings will continue until MORALE IMPROVES !!!!

Oh hell yea, I didn't think about that. You can buy Bromogas from landscape places. Same shit they used in WWii, they use it to kill everything under the tarp (grasses). Only problem with it - if you smell it, you're probably already dead.
/edit, ooops. Been a long time since I worked in a chemical warehouse. Methyl Bromide, it seems, was discontinued courtesy of the EPA:
