Holy shit dude I know how you feel let me finish what I'm fucking with and I'll show you the anti mouseinator 9000 I just added to both of my cars because they seem to think they have manifest destiny for my airboxes

Peppermint spray every 6 months

Turns out that /o/ and /ret/ on /an/ have exactly the same user base.

RAT SEX!!!

>>28580628 (OP)
those little bastards cost me $300 for a new engine computer. didn't know they had moved in to the engine bay overnight and chewed through several wires. when to start the car and shorted out a fuel injector circuit for one cylinder where chewed thru bare wires were crossed.

Total rodent death. I keep a bucket of water in my garage with a lid that flips them down into it, works great

>>28581550
Damn-fuck! I keked-laughed!

>>28581668
I keep a bucket of water in my slip casting room that I do NOT want any fucking mice in and they just keep falling into it

Ok, so, I've been dealing with these shits all year, they've built nests in both of my cars and filled my grandma's cuckover's hood insulation with nuts, and I'm done. I'm done with it.
Last night I went to the dollar store and picked up two of those "don't get hit with grease when frying bacon" pan cover things, ripped the metal mesh out of them, and used them to add barriers to the air hoses on both of my cars.
This has got to work, right? They can't just chew through a metal grate? At this point, the plastic/rubber hoses themselves are becoming the weak spots.

>>28581750
Sadly, I didn't fucking GET THERE IN TIME, because they ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER NEST IN THE VAN.
It's gonna take me an entire day to get the stupid fucking engine cover and center console and all the other shit in the way to move so I can get to the stupid airbox and clean up all of the mouse house bedding AGAIN.
Sure, yeah, if I didn't havbe 9 billion wires going in and out of the center console it wouldn't be AS MUCH of a pain in the ass, but it still really sucks.

>>28581751
My other car, thankfully, doesn't have a mouse house in the airbox this time, but the dollar store metal grate was a little bit too small, so I dragged the remains of a screen door out of the backyard, cut a square out of it, and used that instead.
Originally it had hose clamps too, but the hood didn't like that, so I used zipties. Here's hoping this works.

>>28581538
No, /an/ doesn't have a brownskin constantly shilling their equivalent of a bmw. (Husky, probably)

>>28581752
Then, I took down the hood insulation on the trusty cuckover, expecting a mouse hotel of impossible proportions, and instead there was barely anything at all.
Just SHITLOADS of hair, for some reason, like the mice kidnapped a dog or some shit and shaved it and carried all of the hair up under the hood.
So, now, the hood gets to be naked. Fuck em. Fuck it. And once I figure out where the damn cuckover actually gets its air from, I'm putting a screen over that one too.

Rats are total bros. They're super smart, cute, and only wish to be close to humans. We don't want to harm you.

>>28581763
>We don't want to harm you

>>28581763
rats are okay, but fuck mice
>>28581570
actually i take it back fuck rats too i would fuck this rat for example

>>28580628 (OP)
bromethalin bait chunks
but don't put them inside the car it attracts them.
if you put out a bunch of them around your place you will start seeing dead rats within a few days.
do not let animals get into it because it will fucking kill them and there is no cure.

>>28581761
you cannot have insulation where you live, you are going to have to strip the car wherever they can get to like on the top side of the inner fenders.
I had to put a grate in my cowl to keep them from throwing fucking insulation into my blower motor.

>>28581967
Look at that cute lil guy on the package. Why would you want to repel him?

>>28581971
those niggers will piss and shit all in your car, causing corrosion, foul stench and also destroy wires.
I stomp them to death and shoot them when I get the chance.

>>28581763
I had rats in my house and they would eat my food, which I'm fine with, but they would eat ONE bite though a whole package of stuff, then it would get moldy, and the whole thing would go to waste. They didn't pay rent or clean up after themselves, obviously. Dozens of fruit with a SINGLE bite in each of them that all had to be thrown away, turds on the counter next to the sink. Literally just eat one fruit and shit outside and we're cool, but they couldn't do that, so my roomates were forced to kill the rats living in the house with traps, shovels, bricks, drowning, lighter fluid, a shotgun, etc.

>>28580628 (OP)
Take him on a track day.
He will abandon ship as soon as it is reasonably safe for him to do so.

>>28582015
>shit on the counter and moldy food in the house
couldn't be me, I would have shot the house apart blasting drywall with a shotgun before I could live like that.
I had a few instances of them dying in the walls but never ever had them get in the house.
fucking sucks cause they'd die and stink up the place for weeks.

>>28581831
My van has no hood insulation, I just removed it from the cuckover, there doesn't appear to be any mouse activity in the crown vic hood, but I guess I should just remove the hood insulation from that one too, shouldn't I?

>>28580698
no they cannot they are nuisances and deserve to be fed to birds of prey.

>>28582081
anything that they can easily tear up to make bedding will be destroyed anyways.
usually you will notice a piss smell or droppings if they are regularly staying in the engine compartment.
you might consider putting glue traps under the hood with double sided tape.
if there's any ducting that leads INTO the car you need to plug it.

>>28582684
one thing i saw recently is that a rat repurposed a fucking wasp nest i had knocked out of the carport ceiling and stomped and was carrying it up to the fender apron to use as bedding.

>>28582040
After a few got killed they NEVER showed up again inside of the house. But one died in the vents and one day literally like a hundred thousand houseflies spawned at the air vent, it was like biblical plague levels of flies. my roommate sprayed them with raid. When they get hit with raid they fall at first, then their nervous system starts going apeshit and they buzz around and spin on the floor and die. Since my roommate sprayed thousands of flies pretty much at once they all started having a seizure and it sounded like a plane was taking off INSIDE THE HOUSE due to the buzzing death throes of ten thousand flies

>>28582794
yeah I had the house fly problem when the rats were dying in the walls in my bathroom, I would go in there and smash them to death with a pair of underwear or whatever and flush them.

I simply don't travel without rat away

why do they love wires so much

>>28581812
Then animals eat the dead mice, then other animals eat the dead animals that ate the dead mice

>>28583181
that is too bad, my car matters more

>>28580628 (OP)
think you'll find the rat was in your vehicle long before you bought the rustbox. Technically you're on his turf.

>>28580628 (OP)
for sitting cars
>water bottle or similar vessel you can poke holes in
>fill with a little bit of ammonia
>soak a rag in ammonia as well
>put rag in bottle
>put a few in car (engine bay, trunk, cab, etc.)

I think rats love plastic & rubber because I had one eat half my wiring harness on my grom.

>>28583662
this is just piss jugs but more work

>>28583662

>>28581812
do this and fucking kill them

Honestly hate mice more than rats, here in wisconsin we don't have rats. But we have field mice, those destructive little bastards have made me so indifferent to their suffering I ended up making a drowning trap over a bucket of dex cool and water with two ramps.
I should build an owl box on the old abandoned city power pole in our yard too

>>28580628 (OP)
I bought a car that had been sitting out side and was confused at the absolute lack of rodent damage until my roommate pulled a fucking snake shed from the engine bay.
I never found the snake but honestly I would have let him stay only because there wasn't mouse anything on the entire car.

>>28580855
I dunno man.

>>28580628 (OP)
22 rat shot
Just dont take any shots at less than ~2ft and the collateral damage should be minimal.

>>28583108
They sell the copper for crack

>>28590871
nice try rats I'm not gonna be fooled into shooting my own car

>>28590897
It causes less collateral damage than a pellet gun. (if fired from a responsible distance)

>>28580628 (OP)
>>28580698
yeah while they can be annoying as fuck chewing wires, they're also /o/tists like us
