Sounds like a good excuse to lift your Bronco even higher.

Pick up some peppermint spray (yes, peppermint) and spray down engine bay, looms etc. Worked for us immediately and it smells great. Found ours on amazon.Hi Folks,
Took our first trip in the Bronco up to my in-laws property that is in the high-desert mountains outside San Diego. Pretty remote area and around 4500ft elevation. One issue they have always had is rats chewing up soft bits in the engine compartment of their cars.
Well, this morning I came out and saw that I had a visitor in my engine bay as well. They chewed up the soft liner outside of the battery, and also a bit of a label on a wiring harness (pics attached). Nothing serious, but I think I got lucky that it was very minimal.
For those of you that live in area where this is a problem, what are the best products/strategies to avoid this?
I've heard leaving the hood up helps, but any other suggestions?
Thanks!
Tell them to spread some Decon rat poisonHi Folks,

How do you keep all the dogs in the neighborhood from peeing on your cars?Ok guys. We have this problem with squirrels in Central Texas. My wife hits the outside vehicles with coyote urine scent once a month. Works a charm. Don't know the brand
good lord!!!!! thats a possum!!!!! lol, huge!We've had rats dining in our engine bays of our Jag and Lexus. Gets expensive. Insurance will help. We've tried electronics, mothballs, mint spray. Nothing works. I find rat poop on all the devices and treated areas. Trapping them before they get in seems the most effective.
A common enemy will always unite the oppresedAlmost sad to admit...
This is now by far one of our best threads on the forum. No whining directed at Ford. No ego bull****. Interesting to see the solutions shared to fight varmint and vermin damage. Will likely enlist all of them to some extent.
Live Free and die rodents?!
