Anyone using mouse repellent pouches to repell mice from chewing the wires? I just lost power steering in my 2015 Ford Fusion. A mouse chewed through a wire going to the electric power steering rack.

My daughter deals with it in Brooklyn NY. Mice, rats, everything. We’ve had to fix the wires on her Honda 3x. Honda uses a soy based cover on the wires so it’s particularly susceptible.
Two things we do. Honda sells an anti rodent tape to wrap exposed wires. It’s pricey but known to be effective. We spray a small squirt of pepper spray behind each wheel well. Doesn’t take much. Repeat every month. We also do the pepper spray on my wife’s Honda since the squirrels on campus are particularly aggressive and chew the oil lines. I also hit her parking spot with the spray from time to time. It’s been very effective so far. |
