Mice, rats, and squirrels can wreak havoc on your home, causing thousands of dollars in damage. But they don’t stop at your house — your car is also at risk. These tiny pests have a habit of chewing on wires, brake lines, and insulation, all in an effort to keep their teeth trimmed. They may even target spark plugs and wiring harnesses, leading to serious mechanical issues.
While pests can be a problem year-round, they often seek shelter during the colder months. Your car’s engine provides the perfect warm and dry hiding spot. As they move in, they may build nests, store food, and even start a family — all while silently damaging your vehicle.
Most drivers remain unaware of the infestation until something goes wrong — like the check engine light coming on, the speedometer failing, or the brakes suddenly giving out.
### Types of Damage
Rodents can cause a variety of costly damage to your car, including:
- **Damaged Wires:** Rodents chew through wire insulation, leading to short circuits and electrical failures.
- **Nest Building:** They tear apart insulation to create nests, which can lead to overheating or even fires.
- **Bodily Fluids & Odors:** The presence of pests often starts with a strong smell of waste, old food, and dead animals.
- **Interior Damage:** Scratches and torn upholstery inside the car are common signs of rodent activity.
- **Health Risks:** Their droppings, hair, and dander can spread throughout the car when you turn on the AC or heater, exposing you to harmful pathogens.
### How to Protect Your Car
If you notice signs like acorns, droppings, or scattered paper under your hood, it might be time to take action. Here are some steps you can take:
- Use natural repellents like cayenne pepper or tabasco sauce around your car.
- Keep bushes and vegetation trimmed away from your vehicle.
- Move bird feeders farther from your car to avoid attracting pests.
- Clean out any food containers or bags left in your car.
- Avoid using sweet-smelling air fresheners that may attract rodents.
- Regularly inspect your engine for signs of nesting or activity.
- Consider having your car professionally cleaned if you suspect an infestation.
