Storing my 914 in the carport under a cover, opened the engine compartment and all I could see was two carburetors and a sea of acorns and rat poop.
Short of a snake or a cat what are some of the best ways to keep rats out of your car while storing it for long periods? Thanks for your responses. |

Plus it's natural (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) ,that one won't work,you need some semi trained castoff from a pet shelter,keep it just lean and mean enough,have 2 cats and they can't be bothered with rodents,one of them kills small rabbits but only likes the heads (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) . We don't have an issue with rats and mice living/ruining cars so I really feel for you guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . I live in a rural area and rodents are an issue in the winter,I find a mix of wheat/grain based poison mixed with peanut butter is great,I have this in my roof cavity and have really good results. Very hard to deal with rodents the buggers can get anywhere. |
