    Another thread, the source was cited and I followed the link. It was credible in the fact that it was from one of the online sites like autoblog or pickuptrucks.com ot something like that. I read it but didn't save it because regardless, mice and ridents eat anything, not just food. That's why there are still lawsuits floating around. Mice and rats eat both petro based and soy based insulation with no preference.

    How much you want for them baby mice

    Also you shouldn’t keep them in there, keep them in a terrarium or something.

    Go to post 17 in this thread and there is a link to another thread. I think it's post 47 on page 3 someone posted pictures on how to screen the air filter box.

    2017 Tacoma OR 4x4 (formerly a 1998 SR5 PU, 2002 OR 4x4, 1995 4x4 4Runner, 1985 4x4 Toy PU) ... and RIP’s (rust in pieces) to a Bronco II 4x4 & S10 Blazer 4x4
    Rats eat that Honda wrap like lettuce wrap, ceyenne pepper. Seriously! Wet down engine bay, sprinkle on ceyenne, let dry so it sticks, and voila! A very spicy but rodent repelling taco. Ive tested it out camping where only the trucks with pepper were not touched by wood rats.
