Trouble is, so do the rats in her neighborhood. Theyre chewing through wires in her engine compartment, causing hundreds of dollars in damages.
JoAnn and her husband Tracy live in Santee, Calif., just east of San Diego. Recently retired, they enjoy the open Every night, Joann's pours a little coyote piss around her tires. "I dot my driveway with some too," she says. She also places a Coyote urine-soaked sponge inside a tin pan near the car. She's not sure it's working yet and does not want to take her car in for any more repairs until she's rid of the rats once and for all.

Check your new cars, people! Another gift from environmentalist wacko green giant! This is absolutely absurd. Edible cars! Wonder how much $$$these companies get subsidized to "save the planet" with edible parts.

Next thing you know, the DOT will be going after the auto manufacturers, insisting on recalls and upgrades for these inferior parts.

I have had cars that were old and the rats and squirrels would climb under the hood and chew the wires.
My neighbor had her headlights cut because of the rodents’ affinity for electrical wiring.
Seems they like the ‘feel’ of the insulation on their teeth................

It’s not just ‘soy-based’ wire coatings, and it’s been going on for years. Cars are shelters and rodents have to chew something, anything!

I wonder what store they go to in order to find coyote piss and who manufactures it? Sounds like that could be a dangerous business. Why wouldn’t cat piss suffice, other than the smell?

Tie a couple of Tomcat poison blocks in your engine compartment. They’ll go after those first.

Cat pee? You seen any rats lately? The ones around here chase the cats. You want a biiiiig predator. Cougar pee works well, too, if you can’t get coyote.

I had a car that squirrels chewed through a major wiring harness to the tune of $4500. Insurance paid for it but the rates went up significantly after that.

Well, cougar pee works too. Up until they send you a few pints of female cougar pee laced with estrogun (er, ,estrogen ...) thats attracts mating cougars.

You can buy predator urine on Amazon or from most hunting/trapping outfitters. Predator urine can be used to repel garden pests or to mask human scent.
