A legitimate concern. I could only do that these days kasi nga summer na. Nung tag-ulan syempre can't really do that. Kung slight drizzle lang pwede naman kasi yung engine compartment is under sa overhang ng bahay, although kung malakas nga ang ulan pwede pa rin mabasa.
nasubukan nyo na sir budburan ng paminta yung paligid kung saan pumupunta yung mga daga? ganyan lang kasi ginawa ko awa naman ng Diyos kahit ngayong wala nang traces ng paminta hindi na tinatambayan engine bay ko, laking problema ko din dati yan tatlong beses ako nagpa gawa ng ercon laging ngat-ngat ng daga ang culprit. Kaka search ko sa net isa daw yan sa mabisang panlaban sa daga ayaw daw nila amoy ng paminta, hth
After a week long battle with those pesky rodents, I think I've won.
Zinc Phosphide lang pala ang magpapahina sa pwersa nila.
One lifeless rodent floating on the drainage is around 9 inches in length, excluding the tail.
2 days na ako walang nakikitang bakas either sa garage or sa mismong engine bay ko.
Will still continue the raticide process.
Don't declare victory just yet. Remember Rolling Thunder? T'was not the answer to the stretched out efficacy of enemy guerilla warfare. You might need to stage some long term recon, sir. Careful....collateral damage could encroach on sanity.[emoji37]

I don't like handling dead mice, or worse, dead rats. I gag at the sight or the feel of them.
So as an alternative, I'm trying this one as a cleaner option. It's supposed to repel mouse so you won't have the problem of mice disposal later. It is said also that it's made from organic ingredients. Let's see if this works.
Bought this at True Value in Santolan Town Plaza in San Juan. I bought one after watching the games at Filoil Flying-V Arena. A pack of 4 costs Php1,195.00. A bit pricey but you only need 1 pouch at a time for your car and it's supposed to last for 30 days. If it worked I think this is worth it.

There's another one still in True Value but a bit pricier at Php1,300++:

i dont know if you can win against nature with those chemical longterm. At baka may collateral damage yan.
Let nature fight against nature. Repel.
Cats repels rats.
Some plants repels cockroaches, mosquitoes (naalala ko teacher ang taray magpronounce mosKWItoes.
Mahihirapan ka makakita ng daga dito sa compound namin because of the many cats. May dalawa dayo dito pusa hindi na umalis at mga siga binbully mga old timers pag binigyan ko pagkain nang-aaway. Para din kasi MMA katawan nung mga dayo kasi mga fit eh. Tumaba kasi old timers. Pero ang type ko dito sa dayong pusa eh madali paamuhin kasi umupo lang ako gustong lumapit sa akin nag-aantay bigyan ko sya pagkain.
Ang next target ko eh ipis at lamok without using harsh insecticide. Masama kaya sa lungs yang bahygon.
the better way is to keep one's surroundings, clean.
rats will not go and stay there, if there is no food to be had, there.
dok ang problema kasi yung kaptibahay hindi mo makokontrol eh. Pag si kapitbahay mo eh example may food business catering eh mahirap maging malinis.
Ang daga kukuha ng pagkain yan tapos maghahanap ng kisame or canal na titirhan.
Zinc phosphide afaik is biodegradable, once released in the environment prang fertilizer lang. Ang delikado yung termite powder, nervous system inaatake kpag nalanghap.
Sa daga territorial yan so kung mapatay mo yung alpha male na area ang bahay mo eh ubos din ang pamilya nagsisilayasan. Parang anay lang, kill the queen by sending the poison thru the soldiers then its game over.
ang kinakatuwa ko talaga sa pusakal eh malinis talaga.
Dito sa bodega namin nakakaroam mga pusakal. Eh isang beses kasi doon sa gate may nakaharang sa ilalim so hindi sila makalabas muna they cant go under. Eh naiihi yung pusa so ang ginawa pinuntahan yung drainage dito doon nagweee-weeeeh. Tapos meron pa isang pangyayari na sa comfort room talaga pumasok doon umihi. Ayaw ata pinagmamasdan naghanap privacy.
Lumaki ako mahilig sa aso. Pero ngayon naappreciate ko na pusa mas madami pakinabang. Deterrent pa ito sa magnanakaw lalo na kung madami pusa.
sa gabi kasi dami pusa dito more than 10 kanya kanya pwesto yan. PAg pasok madaling-araw nakapwesto na yan sa madalim. Alam mo yung batang-kalsada na gusto maging enterprising individual eh lagi nagugulat sa pusa hindi nila alam biglan may gagalaw and yung anino doon ako natatawa kasi nagpapakamalan ahas yung buntot.
Ako dati one time kinabahan kasi pag bukas ko gate eh nandoon si pusa nakapwesto yung parang sa temple na lion nakatungtung sa mataas na cemento sa entrance. Ganun mga pusa dito sobrang at home. Eh syempre pinapakain gabi-gabi
sa condo parking badtrip yang mga pusa.. ang bilis dumami tapos parang mga wild cats.. nakakatakot.. ang hirap pa hulihin.. tapos pupu nang pupu kung saan saan..
Interesting thing I've noticed about mice: they seem to prefer wiring ng Euro cars. Baka mas masarap yung materials😋
