So on Monday some rats (or something) got in my engine and chewed up some wires, it ran me about 350 in repairs and my car was gone for like 2 days. And now, just one day after I got my car back the check engine light came on, and I think they got in there again. I've yet to take it to the shop to get it checked but I'm almost positive thats what happened.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to keep rodents from chewing up wires in my engine cause its super inconvenient.

 

have a big caturday in your engine bay with cheezburgers

 

Man that sucks. Do you park your vehicle outside?

 

yeah right now i'm at my parents and i part it out front. after the first time i put some mothballs in my engine cause i heard that helps, but the next day (today) the engine light came on. Its in the shop again right now

 

you need a stric 9/ceramic coating on all engine parts....heat AND rat resistant.

 

traps? an exterminator? kill the rats near your house.

i have a horror story about this and its really long but long story short mice were living in my old eclipse during winter and i didnt know it. they died in the car and i didnt know. 6 months later in june i was cleaning my interior and i found 100909209120 magots yes magots!! baby flies. those things under neath my floor mat.

Solve this problem now!!! dont let it get worse!

 

I see you are in texas....wouldn't be those big fat mexican rats eh?

But in all seriousness, Did you put the mothballs "IN" your engine?

 

Try putting rat pelets all over your engine bay.

 

+1

 

get some cats

 

How did it not stinky to high heaven???? Dead rats smell AWFUL!

 

True. Rotting flesh is the worst smelling thing I have ever come across, especially if it is human.

 

yeah i opened up the hood and sprinkled them all around in the corners, you know so they dont get in some important part of the actual engine and mess things up even more than the rats do. :/

 

ps - how much would that ceramic coating cost/ where would i go about getting it?

 

lmao autozone has it in spray cans......HAHAHA stric9 im not so sure.....

dont do anything i say
