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.

We went through this with my daughters 2024 Honda Accord... 8K in damage to the wiring harness. State Farm paid for the first one (after our deductible). Honda paid for the second one after it happened the again the day after we got it back.
We had originally asked Honda to wrap the wires in their OWN mouse repellant tape and they said "It's not worth the effort..." -- The second time it happened they offered to pay for it AND wrap the wires. No issues since then. I also put several pouches of moth balls around the motor bay and sprayed everything with that mouse repellant spray. We also put one of those sonic boxes in the engine compartment. Not sure what finally drove them away. The Tape The Spray The sonic box The crazy part is that we park our 2025 Cayenne S, 2020 Toyota Tacoma, and 2013 Toyota Tacoma all right next to my daughter's Honda. The rat/mouse/squirrel only eats her wires. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) |
