When Squirrels (or other rodents) eat your car's electrical wires
2011年12月26日 · We had a similar proble to the gentleman from Grand Juncton Colorado although our rodents were mice. A little google search turned up a product by Honda (which his Accura dealer should have known about…). It is called “RODENT TAPE” and it is an electrical type of tape that is impregnated with the chemical that makes hot peppers really hot. Wrapping the wires with this amazing stuff has ...
2016 Nissan Rogue - Rodent damage - Car Talk Community
2019年2月11日 · Twice within several weeks some sort of rodents were attracted to my harness which I understand is required by law to contain soy-based wiring - dinner for rodents. After the first time (I park on the street or a small driveway and have for the 34 years I’ve lived in my house), I began putting rat traps on my front wheels every night which was never tripped. After I’d driven the car for 19 ...
Rabbit and Rodent Proof Cars - Car Talk Community
2011年1月18日 · There is a problem with rabbits in my small housing community and the HOA refuses to take action. Last year, a rabbit chewed the transmission hose in my 2000 Lexus LS 400, leading to the transmission shredding apart upon driving. Now, a rabbit has chewed the wiring harness in my 2002 Toyota Avalon leading me to have to replace the knock sensors to get rid of the codes. Are rabbits attracted to ...

Rodents under the hood - Maintenance/Repairs - Car Talk …
2021年8月16日 · I have a car problem that I’ve had for sometime. I park my car out front of my house. My garage is beyond full, 99% of which is full of the lady friend’s stuff.

Mice again--cabin air filter - Car Talk Community
2017年3月28日 · 2011 Honda CRV. 2nd spring in a row, acorns and debris on cabin air filter. Has to be mice, probably not enough room for squirrels. Anyway, we’ve replaced the filter again, but are getting sick of it. Last year we were advised to have it set on inside air when parked on the carport–closes a little door they could be getting in. Well, that didn’t help. Any further suggestions? I …
Mouse odor - Maintenance/Repairs - Car Talk Community
2007年10月15日 · Possibly there’s another nest somewhere in the ventilation system which is supplying the bad smell, but it seems more like somehow the ventilation ducts have absorbed it. I’m going to try the Lysol spray if I can find any, but then maybe I’ll investigate the AC system, although putting water into the air intake sounds pretty sketchy.
How can mice and rats under the hood be controlled?
2010年7月20日 · Mint spray. Rats hate mint and it is poisonous to them. So if you buy some mint and a spray bottle you drop the leaves in the bottle, add water and let it sit for a while. I have never tried this but a problem is always looking for a solution so maybe you can try it. Spray it in the area of the problem. Mint oil may be better.

Tue morning I opened a door and OMG. I opened the ...
