Critters crawling underneath Tacoma’s and chewing engine wires.

Several threads on this topic.

 

Hey all. Nice chatting with you all. I got to go but hopefully I’ll be back tomorrow with my truck out of the shop. Take care

 

Well I guess that rules out that theory, but my engine compartment smells nice. Lol

 

Stray cats isn't a good thing either.

Had a stray cat climb into my 2019 Rav4 engine bay over night. I start the engine in the morning... Really messy out come and expensive fix.

Now every morning I honk my horn before I start the vehicles. Or make lots of noise while I'm doing a walk around.

 

Yikes

 

Put this near the front of your truck

Well we have plenty of mice here in connnecticut where i'm at. Their always looking to chew something. I don't have those issues with the tacoma yet, had some with the tundra. I've placed a dozen rat, and mouse traps everywhere in my garage, but keep the truck outside. Been terminating those little bastards at a 15 or so a week average for a year now. Seems no shortage.

ummmm.......

Just because a class action suit is initiated doesn't necessarily mean its fact.

 

Thanks for all the great info guys

Just started dealing with this on my wifes 4runner which is throwing P0333 code- rodents! I can see a nest in there and am now taking the intake manifold off to repair wires and clean them out.

 

I had a nest under the cowling in my '07. Luckily just a nest and no chewing.

 

Problem found

 

Wow. I truly feel your pain. Those critters are sure terrors.

 

Just called the shop where my truck is getting fixed. Should be able to pick it up tomorrow now. Agh. What a nightmare.lol
