    Please suggest ways how to get rid of rats or prevent rats/mice from entering the engine bay. These past few weeks, I always find rat poop and wiwi inside the engine compartment. i'm afraid they'll eat the electrical wires...Thanks.

    True story.

    Dad ko ganyan ginawa sa old Pajero nya. Nawala yung mga daga, napalitan ng gasgas sa hood at bubong mula sa kuko ng pusa. After a few more days, dalawa na yung pusa.

    Naglagay sya ng aso para magalisan mga pusa. Puro wiwi naman yung rims.

    Sa huli, tinali na lang yung aso sa gate, malayo sa auto. Solved lahat ng problema.

    takot yung pusa sa amin na akyatin yung hood ng sasakyan nasa ilalim lang lagi ng oto yung mga pusa. maganda na din yung pusa pati ahas nawala na sa bahay.

    Sir Ronw123w124, kasing effective din ng ng black pepper yung mothballs? and ung black pepper nyo ba yung powder type or yung bilog bilog na maliit? And ang nakaka inis araw araw ko naman ginagamit yung auto ko. siguro naghahanap ng mainit na lulunggaan dahil tag ulan na. sakto pa nman kahapon late na kami umuwi ng misis ko. so mainit init pa yung kotse. pag check ko kanina ayun..dami pupu at may mga wiwi sa engine mismo.

    open your engine hood. rats and mice don't like light. but cats like warm beds.. if you have cats, they may take a liking to your engine bay.

    a few days ago, i found a dead cat on our rarely used starex engine bay ... it smelled like a dead rat on the area so i decided to find the source and there it is, the stray cat who loves messing our outdoor stuff finally dead ... i felt both sad and happy

    Try to place Dora or Baygon rat killer at the garage floor below the engine compartment. Once this disappears, the rats had surely eaten the pellet rodent killer.

    I tried racummin. I actually placed it inside the engine bay. Sure enough they ate it. But the next few days, still found their droppings. Never found the dead rats.

    I'll try Dora. Hopefully it will be more potent.

    One of my foglights stopped working, tried to replace it this afternoon and still not working. I found out na the electricals got gnawed. I suspected that maybe some of my engine electricals were included, so I inspected throroughly, some it has gnawed parts but not too deep, is this still safe?

    Can I claim this incident for insurance? Or electrical warranty? [emoji24]
