Mice in Air Filters - Maintenance/Repairs - Car Talk Community
2010年4月27日 · Now they’ve figured out a way to get into the cabin of the car and I can’t figure out how/where. I would love to block their entrance because I am still trying to get the smell of dead rat out of the car after finally relenting and using a block of poison under the front seat (the rat ended up dying in the back seat during a day that hit ...
When Squirrels (or other rodents) eat your car's electrical wires
2011年12月26日 · The general idea that you can keep rodents from doing damage by using something that keeps them away from just one area is doomed to fail more often then not. So you keep the rodent from eating the wiring or out of your heater…big deal. There are lots of other things in a car that can eventually occupy their attention.

2019年3月13日 · I store a truck for much of the year in a barn. I place a box of moth balls under the hood where it cannot fall out if I do use the truck. I first poke a few holes through the box and the odor emanating will keep rodents out. We transplanted a bunch of Lily bulbs one spring and the squirrels were digging them up like mad.

Help! Rodents are eating my engine! - Car Talk Community
2010年3月5日 · Please help! I need help desperately! Squirrels (or some kind of rodents) have done major damage to my minivan’s engine for the third time in the past two months! My insurance company is sick of this, and so am I. I have tried sprinkling the engine with cayenne pepper, which seemed to work for about 2 weeks. They do this damage overnight, so I don’t think it’s anything as small as a ...
Rabbit and Rodent Proof Cars - Car Talk Community
2011年1月18日 · There is a problem with rabbits in my small housing community and the HOA refuses to take action. Last year, a rabbit chewed the transmission hose in my 2000 Lexus LS 400, leading to the transmission shredding apart upon driving. Now, a rabbit has chewed the wiring harness in my 2002 Toyota Avalon leading me to have to replace the knock sensors to get rid of the codes. Are rabbits attracted to ...

2021年8月16日 · I have a car problem that I’ve had for sometime. I park my car out front of my house. My garage is beyond full, 99% of which is full of the lady friend’s stuff.

I assume they climb up from underneath, or maybe climb up one of the tires. However they get ...

2018年11月7日 · If it was the engine compartment the chewing damage occurred, whatever you can do to keep the rodents away is about the best you can do.

Keeping Mice from building nests on engines
2009年11月25日 · Recently, I had mice to build a nest on the in-take manifold near the V6 engine’s injector plugs. They took the opportunity to chew the wiring harness free from two injector plugs. The Dodge Dealership had to look long and hard to find parts to repair the damages since they have discontinued this year’s specifications. I keep this truck at a vacation home, and it is driven about every two ...
How can mice and rats under the hood be controlled?
2010年7月20日 · We live in the country (woods) and do not have a garage. Mice and rats congregate and build nests under the hoods of our cars. Boxes of D-CON have not controlled the situation. Ultrasonic pest repellant (via a long extension cord) has not kept the rodents away. We are desperate ! Are there any noxious sprays to keep the pests out ? Are there other solutions to the problem other than building a ...
