Bum deal. I had a mouse in mine, it didn't eat the wiring that I have found yet.. Did find about a pound of dry dog food in the tunnel, he must have had enough to eat..

I keep hearing about rodents chewing on the wires but I've never seen pics, therefore,

A few tips from somone who has had to deal with two P cars sitting out in the mountains with tons of wildlife. Rats and mice love peanut butter. Buy about 6 rat or mouse traps. Put the peanut butter on the trap. Put 2-3 traps under the car and 2-3 in the car. You'll get the little ba$tards for sure.
I started out as rodent freindly guy trying moth balls, fabric softer etc to try to keep them away. Didnt work. Mouse traps are garunteed to work. Get the cheap off brand mouse traps from china. They have hair triggers and the spring is stonger. Dont use poison bait as they will eat it and die in your car somewhere where you cant reach. |
