Unharmed and not anywhere inside the car. If I find any of them, they will pay heavily.

Hope there are no animal right's activists on board. lol.

Another case of India Shining? Rodents now have adopted the capitalistic way of life, I see.

I used to have rats having a feast on my alto wiring - the indicator wires were their favorite. Also noticed that one of them has managed to get a good feed of my seat!

my solution was to place rat poison cakes (the ones you get from the local store) and place them around the car and below the stairway (besides which I park my car).

Got one big S** with his legs all raised! Been safe ever since.

Just got a call from Lathangi. It seems the engine mount rubber bush has also been chewed. That needs to be replaced.

LOL looks like the rat really had fun in your car . Anyway be sure to put cakes of rat poison around in the boot, engine bay and under the seat from now.

They have created problem for me twice in my car. First the wiring for the Wipers are cut in to pieces. Then the tube that takes water from the wiper tank?? was cut.
The service guys adviced to use rodent killer and said its the common way many people use to do... So, am I now.

I think you should call some nice girl and have a chat with her. This will take your mind off rodents.

Now comin to the rats, theres something called Rat Repellant available in the market. No, its not a spray. Some kind of a electric device which emits some sound which keeps away rats. I dont know how effective this is and whether such a Repellant is available.

Hi!
try this
Globo Tec
and
rodent repellent

there is a Auto model, which is to be installed in the engine bay.

Also try to close all the cabin holes or entry points from the firewall & the boot.

Hope this helps

Hi,
I too had the problem of rats entering the car's cabin ( not only engine compartment).
I have a question. In a car with AC, the cabin should be fully sealed and the air enters the cabin only through the AC vents. In that case how can the rats enter the cabin. Does it mean that some bush/filter/grill is missing in those car ( in which the rats enters).
If there are provisions for rats to enter the cabin, then dust and smoke from outside can enter the cabin through the same openings, and what's the use of the AC.

Cheers,
Arun

Dear Mod: Pls delete my previous post.

Well Vid6639 i really pity your situation. HAd this problem before as the car was being parked in this godown of ours. Now we got a new garage and its better.
Once a rat actually made its house in the car and brought junk like papers and kept it in a pipe for the AC. Gosh i hate rats.
