Mice, rats, and squirrels can cause serious damage to your home, often leading to thousands of dollars in repairs. But your car isn’t safe either. These pests have a habit of chewing on wires, brake lines, and insulation, and they may even target spark plugs and wiring harnesses to keep their teeth sharp.
Although pests can be a problem year-round, they’re especially active in the winter when they’re searching for warmth and shelter. Your car’s engine is an attractive spot—dry, warm, and full of materials to gnaw on. As a result, they may build nests, store food, and even reproduce inside your vehicle.
Most drivers don’t realize there’s a problem until something goes wrong—like the check engine light coming on, the speedometer failing, or the brakes suddenly not working.
**Types of Damage**
Rodents can cause various types of damage to your car, including:
- **Damaged Wires:** Rodents chew through electrical wiring, which can lead to short circuits and major electrical failures.
- **Nesting in the Engine:** They tear up insulation to create nests, which can cause overheating or even fires.
- **Bodily Fluids and Odors:** The presence of rodent droppings, urine, and carcasses can create strong, unpleasant smells.
- **Interior Damage:** Rodents may scratch or tear seats and upholstery while looking for nesting material.
- **Health Risks:** Their waste, hair, and dander can spread through the air conditioning or heating system, exposing you to harmful bacteria and viruses.
**How to Protect Your Car**
In addition to the obvious signs like droppings and acorns under your car, rodents may leave behind bits of paper, food scraps, and chewed-up materials. If you notice any of these, here are some steps you can take:
- Use natural repellents like cayenne pepper, tabasco sauce, or pest sprays around your car.
- Keep bushes and vegetation trimmed away from your vehicle to reduce hiding spots.
- Move bird feeders away from your car to avoid attracting rodents.
- Clean out your car regularly and remove any food containers or bags that might attract pests.
- Avoid using sweet-smelling air fresheners, as they can lure pests in.
- Check under the hood frequently for signs of infestation.
- Consider having your car professionally cleaned if you suspect a problem.
