Anyone use anything that works? I just had to resolder a bunch of wires. On a brand new truck.

Going to try the peppermint extract + cotton balls. Going to wrap the wires in aluminum foil too. Soy-plastic composite wiring covers are being used now and they attract critters. Green poison traps near the tires, possibly leave the hood open at night so it gets cold. Am I missing anything?

I have land so adopting a bunch of outdoor cats isn't out of the question but then I'll have cats all over the place.

Apparently Honda as well as other manufacturers knew about the soy-based wiring attracting rodents. They got the lawsuits thrown out but all the while had a solution to a problem they denied. Expensive but probably worth it and better than aluminum foil. Some of these chewed wires run the owners $3-4000 when they take it to the dealer.
