Chipmunks in my air filter! Argh!!!

I have had chipmunks in both of my Toyotas. My 2013 Prius had them in the glove compartment and in the interior. My 2017 Tacoma had one in the air filter compartment where it nested and succumbed. With regard to the Tacoma all they need to do is install a simple grid prior to the air intake. Not sure where they got access to my Prius, but something needs to be done. Anyone else have these issues? What do YOU have to say about it Toyota? I'm sure you're watching this site.

 

I'm surprised no one has made some sort of aftermarket screen for this.

 

Ughhhhh. Squirrels/rats/mice did a ton of wiring damage on my 4Runner. The. Worst.

 

Get a cat.

 

Only downside is cats don't transport well

 

These traps work great for chips. A little peanut butter on a cracker gets them every time.

• Trigger rod is located outside of the trap so animals can’t damage it while inside

• Comes fully assembled and ready to use

 

Power trap and some Nutella. Took care of my red jimmy problem last weekend. They were too smart to get in my live trap so I had to take drastic measures. Got 4 in 2 days.

 

People have put all kinds of stuff under the hood to keep out pests. Cotton balls with peppermint, mothballs, etc etc.

 

"Toyota should make a 100% perfect vehicle that protects against all acts of nature! Hmph! "

Come on dude.

I would suggest a Cat, mine either kills or chases everything away including Snakes.

 

Chipmunks should add at least 2hp

Well, 2 munkpower anyway....

 

Never in my 35 years as a licensed driver and owner of 6 different assorted vehicles have I encountered this problem. Weird

 

That cat looks like a straight killer.

 

Someone at work extent recently did...not Toyota, though. The dealer suggested putting the AC into recirc mode when parking the vehicle. Supposedly that will keep them from entering the vents.

 

She is a beast!

 

make stew....
