Add bait at entry points to make them leave for H2O & to die.

Default When I lived in Germany, there were rodents that got in there &...

chewed on the wiring. I don't remember what they were called, but they sold repellent things that you put around in your engine bay that would keep them away. Anyone in Europe know what I'm talking about? Surely you can get them on the internet.

A local guy recommends Irish Spring soap; my results inconclusive, then there's the smell
