It's a miracle she didn't have an accident before it was discovered during a routine maintenance check. Everything has been replaced, but how do we keep it from happening again? The little varmints are everywhere. There is no garage...so that is not an option.
A humane solution would be nice...but whatever works!
Thanks

Tie a cat under the hood?
Unforunately they like the warm, dry environment under the hood with all the little nooks and crannys to hide in. They like to chew the soft spongy rubber stuff, especially wire insulation.
How about an electronic device under the hood?
I'd check the web for a solution, Household cures and remedies for varmits and rodents.
