I have replaced three positive post covers. Some critter lust loves these things. There is a back order and now I drive with out the positive post being covered. There must be something in the cover that critters love.Checking engine compartment today and seen the battery shield was all ripped up. Started looking with light and found a nest on the passenger side made with the shield cover plus. Chewed some of the wires also. Had problems with mustang before with chipmunks as they are around my yard. To big to park inside and have tried sprays, dryer sheets etc. Bait bars and a 20 ga works but don’t solve the problem Any ideas please
PURE peppermint oil will drive them out.
I send them to heaven with a either my Ruger 10/22 or for close work my .22 S&W revolver loaded with CCI 22 LR shotshell cartridges.Bait bars and a 20 ga works but don’t solve the problem Any ideas please
Same problem here! They chewed thru my 4 wheel drive harness which was over $250. Then I put an Ultrasonic/strobe pictured after I found a nest on the front corner underneath the hood on the battery side. And they did use the battery protector felt to make the nest. So I have that and I also sprinkled cinnamon all over the felt that was left. So far so good. But now I am using the truck almost everyday which doesn’t give them a chance to do anything. So who the heck knows! Do I really need to keep the felt around the battery? Otherwise I will take it out.View attachment 494273
Actually, in New York state it is against the law to live transport animals and release. (Ask me how I know!) Unless you release them a fair distance away, they'll be back.Call me cruel, but I trap them in a hav-a-hart trap, them shoot them. Ironic I know. But with a little patience you can really whittle down the population.
You can take the battery felt out if it never gets cold in WI , WI can get cold in the winter, that felt can help protect the battery during the winter time so I would leave it in and or replace if badly damaged, I replaced them in my 2006, it did not cost all that much when ordered on line...
