We have heard so many stories about rat damage to car engines and interiors and thought we would share some of the images with you. It isn’t just expensive and inconvenient for your car to have to go to the shop for repairs. Unfortunately it is also upsetting when you find rat poop in your footwell. You know that they are there, scurrying around in the floor and engine bay. Even if you get rid of them and their nest the scent trail remains and can draw in other rodents with the promise of food or shelter. www.hammertechltd

In these images of rodent damage to car engines rodents have chewed plastic cowling. They have also brought hay, straw and refuse into engine bays in order to make a nest. The engine bay is often warm and is sheltered from the elements. Electric cars are even more of a target as they remain warm for long periods of time whilst the battery is charging. As well as this, they have wire casings including soy protein to reduce environmental impact. Unfortunately this smells like food to rodents and encourages them to chew.

Sometimes the first you know about this is when a mysterious warning light comes on, heralding system failure. Unfortunately, sometimes safety equipment such as seat belts or brake lines are damaged. This can potentially lead to serious consequences.
