Ever had a rat in your engine??

So my friend has a rat that keeps returning to eat her wires in her car's engine. BMW tells her it's common with their vehicles??!!! Like you know it happens often but you don't do something different, WTF???!!
Literally fix it today and tonight he returns - 4th time now!!! Nothing scares him off, not rat poison, chilly sauce, pepper corns, moth balls, you name it, we have tried it!!!

I keep waiting to see this little asshole come at me when I leave her house. I have visions of him doing this

Ive got a theory that rodents leave a scent for each other to follow i think thats how they keep finding the same spor ild suggest washing it very thorough and ive heard bbq briquets smell like fire to them and they wont enter a fire maybe try a couple in places that wont actually start a fire

@Whyme That's not a theory, thats a proven scientific fact. They use urine trails that you can see with a blacklight.

@ShadowWolf i dont read much science to me it was a theory lol

@Whyme You made a theory using the scientific method by forming a hypothesis on observation. That's how facts are made :)

@Whyme Ya, mice suck. I use multiple repellent methods out here in the country. They hate light/strobe, peppermint, and high pitched noises. I utilize all three :)
