  • Friends many of us have brought costly vehicle and always worried rodent damages. Here are some effective, tried and tested process with a minimal cost. Also see the installation of RAT mesh in Ford Endeavour 2019 Facelift model.
    Rodents like mice and rats can cause significant damage to cars if they find their way into the engine compartment or other areas of the vehicle. These pests can chew on wiring and other components, causing electrical problems and even fires. In addition, their droppings and urine can create unpleasant odors and potentially lead to health issues.
    To protect your car from rodents, there are several steps you can take. First, make sure to regularly clean your car and remove any food or trash that might attract rodents. Next, use rodent repellent products around the perimeter of your garage or carport to discourage rodents from entering the area.
    You can also use rodent-proofing materials like steel wool or copper mesh to seal gaps and holes in the engine compartment and other areas of the car where rodents might enter. Finally, if you suspect you have a rodent infestation in your car, contact a professional pest control service to safely and effectively eliminate the problem.
    Overall, taking steps to protect your car from rodents can help prevent costly damage and keep your vehicle running smoothly and reliably.

      Yes. All my further installations are using rhe silicon glue. However I still feel that rats in india are smart and they eat even silicon. So what I generally do is use double side tape and then from top I use silicon glue so even rats eats silicon still the mesh will be intact with the double tape

You have to open the front coul below the windshield you will find the AC went which can be covered with mesh. Mesh can be found in any local hardware shop.

    Clean the engine once a month, carefully with degreaser, and water not forced, and rat will stay away,
    Rat comes coz ur engine has rat piss and pee smell, they are like dogs, they come where they can smell there piss, that is why tobacco works, it masks the piss smell, but is temporary, after some weeks Tobacco lose its smell, and rat come back,
    So the only thing to do is
    1. Clean engine once a month , but carefull not to damage.
    2. Keep ur car away from garbage, in light, around busy place.
    That is all u hav to do to get rid of rat in car
