Storing my 914 in the carport under a cover, opened the engine compartment and all I could see was two carburetors and a sea of acorns and rat poop.
Short of a snake or a cat what are some of the best ways to keep rats out of your car while storing it for long periods? Thanks for your responses. |

Buy a Victor electronic mouse trap and put it under the car. A light on the trap illuminates when you electrocute one. About $40. Way cheaper and easier than fixing wiring and cleaning up turd and piss. The price pales compared to a new harness. No cats huh? Check the glove box.
