Think of an oil well which is dry after 6 years.There's no bump at the end.

Example here is a homeowner was sent a letter from "the BOARD" about oil spot on the street in front of his house.

I've worked my entire life in agriculture and oil.

(My cats were useless for actually catching mice.)Additionally, mice do not like the smell of peppermint oil.  

or Olive Oil and Balsamic.   

Also, I would be concerned that you could end up with stolen vehicles and parts covering the property; even worse, the repair shop owner disappears and you have gas,oil, and antifreeze spills to remediate.

@Pearl Cook - As an agent and investor in the area, I recommend Tony DeRosa at All American Realty. 

Wayfair for the dark oil brushed shower fixtures.

You'd be paying for at worst snake oil and at best a bad negotiator.

Paint everything with an oil-based primer to seal in the odor.
