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

Squirrels in my case whom I consider to be rats with furry tails... I live in the country and so far they've eaten through two Hemi engine harnesses and firewall insulation and a Ford ignition harness and hood insulation. I have an inspection lamp that I leave on under the hood, plus a couple of chlorine hockey pucks wedged into the engine bays. So far it seems to work, providing I remember to remove the lamp prior to driving off.. 👍

@Majorlatency Use a strobe light and hook it to your battery instead. Zip tie it to under the hood somewhere. That way you can just leave it there.
