We May Actually See Some Cold Temps but.....

Not sure if this was brought up before but what are the odds of getting your wires chewed by rodents? I don't live out in the country...yet, but i've heard of class action lawsuits filed due to the soy which is contained in the vehicle's wiring. Has anyone been a victim of hungry rodents??If so, what area?

 

I've had the wiper hose chewed up on my '10 Tundra, the turbo hose on my wife's car and found a nest atop the engine of my back hoe. Now I put cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil in the engine bays. I'm at the base of the mountains in Santa Cruz.

 

Wiper fluid hose on my wife's Venza was chewed through by some kind of rodent; never heard of this before will have to look into it. We live in San Diego suburb.

 

I think the rodents 1st make a nest due to the warm / dry motor space...
then chew cause that's what they do

peppermint oil works to deter..

 

Damn those rat bastards....

 

Had a rat get into my wife’s work truck (2010 DC) and caused over $4K in damage. Chewed holes in all plastic reservoirs, got wires, and insulation. Fortunately, her company had to pay the bill, I would’ve been pissed if it were my vehicle. It made a nest in the A/C inlet under the wiper cowl. I set a trap and caught it. Now, we use peppermint oil and dryer sheets. Her truck is parked outside, our vehicles stay in the garage.
