Critters Eating Wires

[Powerlies]

I set 8 traps every night! I have had pack rats eat injector harnesses and coil harnesses on 3 different makes of vehicles. I have two rid a rat lights on every vehicle. I spray repellent. They are no joke!

I just went out and chewed on my wiring harness and it did not taste like peanuts. So false theory you are peddling..

Three cats, well actually two that patrol the backyard (where I park) and catch on average one rodent each per day. And every morning I watch at least a dozen play in the front yard. I open my hood and check my air intake and look for other signs of rodents before I crank up (every time). So far the only problem I have had was one of the cats used my hood for his lookout perch. I discussed the situation with him and turned Miss Big Booty around. Now he uses a tire in the bed as his perch and I have seen him catch a chipmunk from that tire.

I use a small 4oz. spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of peppermint oil.

The rodents hate the smell as reported by a mechanic on YouTube so it must be true.

A few years ago had rats get into garage and then eat into our SUV and also ate wiring in my at the time Mercedes I now have those black boxes with poison around the house perimeter and one in garage. Only the outside boxes rats are eating the poison. Every few months find a dead rat in our pool. Haven’t had car invasion in a few years.
