    I spray this on my wire harnesses from above and below in the engine compartment when I finish up an oil change. I also squirt some in the back corners of the compartment too.

    I do this for all 3 of our vehicles....especially in the winter. Never an issue

    Worse part was being asked to move the truck completely unaware and the cat hisses and snarls at me.

    I mentioned it here a few times about how we used to do it with work and personal trucks when I was a ranger. Use cayenne pepper... spray engine compartment with water and sprinkle cayenne over the wires. It looks terrible, but works on the engine compartment. Wood rats and bunnies stayed out after that, but getting the wires under the frame will be an issue.

    Here’s what they have to do in British Columbia to protect their vehicles from porcupines, maybe using some smaller mesh wire would help protect undercarriage wires for small rodents if you’re really having a bad time with them at home.6AFE535F-110A-49CC-875E-5D2B2EC170CC.jpgD013C150-3D04-444F-A353-5AE7F067F6F4.jpg
    Or put a couple of these under the truck at night:

    Same thing here. Chewed through the knock sensor wiring. Doesn't take them long to do it either.

    They enjoy the new wire insulation, tastes like cheese.

    I'm just curious for you guys and gals that had mouse trouble do you drive your taco everyday? Mine is not garage kept although it is in a paved parking lot and my dog rides with me from time to time but I wonder if I should be concerned.
