[@johnlebeau5471]

Years ago I was keeping my 1974 Alfa Romeo in our barn because at the time I didn't have a garage. By the way, a barn is a lousy place to keep a car. We kept a bowl of cat food in there to try to entice feral cats into the barn to keep out rodents and birds. While eventually that worked and we did get barn cats, this event was early on. I opened the hood to find the spark plug wells (they are at the top of the cylinder on the old Alfa twin cam) filled with cat food. It turned out the air filter can was full too. After that I bought a large inflatable "garage", a plastic bag you drove on to the bottom and zipped the rest of it around the edge of the car and inflated it with a filtered blower. It worked quite well, but it was a pain to pull the car out. Now I have a garage.

I had a Pontiac Firebird back in the day. We lived in the country at the time. I was awoken by the alarm going off in the middle of the night. I ran out ready to blow someone's head off. It turned out some mice got under the hood and chewed the wires to the alarm and set it off. A few days later, the car started smelling awful. I found some mice had made a nest in the back. When I removed the cover, I found a dead mouse along with more chewed wires. So yeah, those creatures can do some damage.

I've heard that rodents were drawn to the insulation part of the wires because they were made out of soybean derivatives. Don't know if it's true, I don't have any information about this but, it's just simply something that I've heard. I've never actually heard about the charge they get buy chewing on a live wire but, I've had several motorcycles that were in storage without any batteries hooked up and noticed some things got chewed on & some things didn't. I had one motorcycle where it got chewed up on the grips and they never touch the wiring harness. That was a 1981 Honda XL125S. Anyway, Don't really know why this happens - just know that it does. Hope this helps keep up the good work have a great day.

[@anthonyc1883]

Not sure I totally buy the claim that rodents chew wires because the 12-volt charge tickles their brains. Lots of unused vehicles that sit on rural properties, barns etc. have rodent infestations with destroyed wires, and those vehicles haven't had working batteries in years.

[@curtchase3730]

Soy based covered wires. They are tasty. To rodents.

[@LS1007]

I heard that mice and probably rats also like to chew on the wires because the wires are made from soy based ingredients and thats why they are attracted to them because they taste of soy beans. There is a tape available to wrap the wires to prevent them from chewing on them.

[@anthonyc1883]

L S Agreed. The claim that they get turned on my the 12-volt zap can't be all there is to it, because rodents destroy wiring in vehicles that have sat unused for years.

[@MV60]

Yep. The insulation is basically food to them so they eat it.

When he gets in it to go home for lunch, he sees a cat sitting next to it in the parking lot. "Looks quite a bit like Koshka," he thinks. Drives home. Has lunch. Drives back to work. Cat still lying there, next to his parking space. Also after work. Drives home after work. Cat not waiting for him in the driveway, as expected. Not in the house, either. The Bright Light Dawns! Tears back to work, fortunate not to have been busted. Koshka lying there, content, and if possible, even more relaxed. Gets up. Contemplates the meaning of life. With dignity and after some thought, accepts a ride home. Inside the car, this time. Cat looks even more like Koshka than previously thought. Dad's lap isn't as warm as the engine block, but a good Emperor of the House is prepared to make occasional sacrifices for the servants.

Consequently, my Jeep won’t start, lights flash and errors codes run off like Christmas decorations. They’re even eating my battery…I can see directly into the plates, now. Hood insulation is gone, the battery blanket is eaten, and the wiring harness that ties all my electronics to ground is trashed. So although it’s too late to prevent massive destruction…I need to get this ordered and ready for when my vehicle comes home repaired.

I live in Central Alberta, Canada, it gets down to -40c/-40f with the windchill in winter, I don't drive the car much in winter so I don't often plug the block heater in. Car starts fine when I need it. Is that dangerous in really cold weather, could the frost plugs pop or block crack like in the 60's/70's. I have 5W oil in my caddy, 93 caddy deville. Love the show, eh!

[@cbcsucks2205]

The block should only crack with a cold weather start. Abrupt temperature differential. The freeze out plugs should be insurance enough for a homogeneously cold block.

[@geoh7777]

Even though your antifreeze may say only -30° protection, it usually warms up enough during the day to keep the temp level in your engine high enough. If you have a windswept cold snap for a couple of days, you probably need some kind of engine heater to be sure.

@@cbcsucks2205 thx, I don't quite understand, you say homogeneously...I don't think my car is gay? it was built in Windsor, not Detroit!

[@cbcsucks2205]

@@jinglejazz7537 lol, same temperature. It's she sudden change of temp. Block is -40, cylinders much hotter. The motor can take a lot of heat, a lot of cold, just not both at the same time. Why do we not pour boiling water on our windshield? p.s. I'm from the 'peg.

Heading out soon to drive to CA, Oregon & Washington for the summer. Planning on boon docking in my CR-V so this would be Great!

I didn't know rats could get in a closed hood, they should make a spray for it

[@tonyhamilton7785]

They could also get in from the bottom.....

[@sequoiahughes8536]

There is a spray-I use rodent repellant on the hood’s heat-shield every six months or so

[@THEGIZS]

Does it keep the human kind off rats away lol

[@DLIX2DCLI]

Human rats are harder to rid of. You'll need a good plan for those.

[@AB-ou8ve]

No, but I hear shotguns do.

[@matthewhilst5973]

Definitely would come in handy here in Illinois.. it's already cold and I'm sure there are plenty of rodents around here in the corn fields stirred up from harvest.

Had a 2006 Super Sport Monte Carlo power steering line chewed up by ferrets when we were in Germany. It was not fun getting warranty service through Opel but they did a great job.
