HOW DO YOU BLOCK/REPEL RODENTS?

[Sparty]

Spoke with a knowledgeable service rep at Ford dealer. 1. All automobiles ( ice or ev ) now use Soy-based wire insulation that rodents eat! 2. Absolutely no way to seal off those harnesses!

Many rural garages are virtually impossible to seal...but are not large enough to employ barn cats. Strobe lights and ultrasonic repellents are designed and advertised to catch buyers, not repel rodentia. So I am going with 5gal bucket kill traps, and snap traps. Also subscribed to purchase an 4oz bottle of 100% peppermint oil every six months to make our own sachets for the frunk and spray bottle for area in front. We will also park outside when the Mache isn't going to be driven for several days.
Beyond that, comprehensive on auto insurance can be claimed, as repair is not covered under warranty!

i'll wager it works on spiders and ants, also,its a good bet that the Seattle Mariners will lose to the detroit tigers tonight.

Yup! 2 teaspoons of 100% peppermint oil to a cup of water with 2-3 drops of dawn dish soap gives you the home made version of these repellant sprays. We intend to spray the floor underneath the front end every time we park.

Anyone know a source of drawing for front end? Mice damaged two main wiring harnesses located behind the front grill and practically centerline. They lie below the frunk and above the battery pack. I'd be willing to bore a hole in fascia of the frunk to be able to drop a sachet on a string down in the vicinity of those two wire harnesses!


Peace/Out But not to rodentia species

My mother-in-law had a Ford Fusion that she had to park outside and had rodent issues. We hung some Irish Spring soap in a netted bag under the hood and it seemed to have solved the problem. Apparently the rodents don't like the fragrance.

Manly,yes, but mice hate it too!


Added to the list. Thanks for the tip.

I use a device that broadcasts sounds and lights which repel rodents. It's worked for four years.

I trap rats with this combination, the traps fit into the bait boxes. I have 4 of these around my property. I also put the poison bars in them as backup, the box keeps pets from accessing the poison.

I went a few months without catching any, then suddenly in one week killed three rats.
