(Solved)Rodents eat car wire and plastic parts in the Chassis Solution

Hi,  Funny as it may seem. But on the other day when we notice that some lights glow while driving denoting that there is something missing or low, in the car indicator tab. On checking , i found that either squirrel or rats have eaten the inside wires in the engine and also totally damaged the windscreen tube, that contains the water. There are also other plastic cans which has coolant, that escape the rodent attack.
Servicing it really cost me dear, in the sense that radiator assembly has to be replaced with windscreen connection and wires. It costs me dear. I had the car for more than 3 years, and only now i have this problem.
                  Any immediate solutions that could stop rodent from approaching the engine during night times. Occasionally, i find cats are rounding but i think rats are smarter than cats nowadays.
                          Real solutions would be appreciated. I do not want to spend for car parts due to rodent bites like monthly maintenance

Maybe try a bumper sticker?  :wink:

I have heard that mothballs work, if you can stand the smell. keeping the car clean helps, if there are no food scraps or waste, then ratty will move on.

hi, Samson,
                     i do not think that mothballs will be the solution. I am asking seriously. For the past three years, there was no problem from rodents. I thought, this as strange. NO food particles in engine compartment. ok
                        Any other solutions, Shane, boggins,

Samson:
Trade your car in for a Jaguar, vermin will not mess with the big cat  :wink:

Hi, Samson
                       Your advise is musical but not practical. Is there anything that will repel rats, a kind of solution. Because rats bit everything in its way, if it finds no food in it's search.
