    Hi,
    My 2019 Tundra had a rat eating holes in the hood insolation. Anybody that had similar experience and need to replace it.

    Thanks

    Got a few bars of pink dove, snuggle dryer sheets, pine sol soaked fabric, peppermint oil soaked fabric, all under my hood. And some chlorine pool tabs under/around my truck. Nothing has attempted to get close. Quite a blast when I open the hood, smells like a cheap whore! Rodents simply love to eat Toyota's especially wire insulation made with a soy base. If you have not already done so, screen the climate control intake port under the rt windshield cowling (youtube it). There is a story on the forum of a guy who nearly died from infection caused by rats in his vents. Check your cabin filter asap!

    I was told dog flea collars do the trick. Wrapped a couple in the engine bay around piping.

    Dan,
    Remove the chlorine Tabs and keep them very far from ANYTHING that you even remotely like.
    Trust me, I’ve had them destroy many things including stainless steel and plastics. Danger- keep out!

    100 percent correct. Chlorine tablets are very corrosive. I learn that using them in my house. Only place they belong is in the swimming pool.
