OT Mechanics - Question on Lead Wiring/Harness

I don't know of anything that works other than killing the shite out of the bastards. Think they have some spray that is bitter that honestly probably doesn't work or only works for a few months. I've heard of people sprinkling cayenne pepper everywhere but I've also heard of the rats eating the pepper as a snack.

Having rodent in cars is a nightmare. I know of one lady who has chipmunks eating up her Tundra so bad she opens her hood every time its parked so they don't feel as safe in the engine bay. When she sells the truck the next person is probably going to wonder why the hood latch is nearly worn out.

I Keep a couple snap straps in the engine bay when my weekend car is parked over the weekend. Usually only keep them in there during the winter which is when when I have an issue with mice/rats.


Good luck. they can cause thousands in damage if you cant find a mechanic who is skilled enough to locate a bad wire and just start changing parts that aren't even bad.

Keep a couple of outside cats watered and fed but do not feed them regularly. What rodents they don't kill will suddenly remember they have business elsewhere. If you feed the cats too much they will work but not as well as they will if slightly hungry. They will kill or run everything off, bugs, snakes, lizards, birds...they don't care what it is if it moves its a target and they LIVE to kill shite the psychotic frickers....
