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. 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

They've attacked the Omega again 

Traps ain't working, Going to have to park it at a friends house till I catch it.

All this trouble because of a rodent 

[robson]

Are you sure that he or her is not residing in the car somewhere a nice warm home and wont mind the move to another drivewayl

[biggriffin]

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.

We got ourselves one o' these maniacs:



No problems with rodents ... or cats ... 'round these parts

[Mr.OmegaMan]

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 

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.

[Mr.OmegaMan]

I'll try and take a picture now.

[Mr.OmegaMan]

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.

This reminds me of that post where a guy pulled out a full dead rat from his engine bay.... a bit chargrilled though!

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

[omega3000]

Have you checked the big scuttle drain box to the left , he mite be living in there 

[05omegav6]

Get it fumigated if there is anything there you'll find it soon enough once it's dead

Works a treat on aircraft, can't see a car being any different...

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.

Nothing in there
