Sure its not squirrels?

Pretty sure, Never seen any around here, No even grey ones, Seen plenty of rats mind. I'll take a picture of the damage this week.

From previous videos, I'm sure you live in a nicer area than that posts suggests. ;)

Pretty much the middle of nowhere in the countryside, Could be field mice, All the fields are completely soaked, Sounds better than rats anyway.  :-X

Put traps back and use a small smear of peanut butter as bait on the trap.
has never failed at parents house, and don't listen to townies who say owt different, eg chesse(its not tom n jerry) or that word humane trap.

Will be putting traps all over the place, Maybe try one of thoes glue traps in the engine bay with one grain of rat poison on it ? or maybe without poison not want it dropping dead somewhere awkward  :o

Someone told me this stuff is a good Deterrent. Any truth in this I wonder  :-\

There are no signs of rodent activity inside the car, So far anyway.

Not very clear, But you can see the damage.

Some fresh damage today on the left foam part, There was only one mark there yesterday.



Whatever next, I'd much rather have a problem with the car than this.

That foam disintegrates when it gets wet, best bet is to pull it of in its entirety...

If that's the only evidence I'm not sure about rodents being responsible tbh :-\

I've cleaned the mess they made along with their droppings.

That foam pad was in perfect condition before these little ba*t*rds wreaked it.
