“This has been going on since my 2000 ford focus...........”
This has been going on forever.
On the farm our 1 ton Studebaker truck was the least used vehicle. We were constantly fixing chewed through wires.
Even the pick up truck we used the most had rat/mouse damage to wiring and seats.
Many old buildings burned to the ground because rats/mice chewed up the insulation in the electric wiring.
Go into any telephone company Central Office. There are live catch traps everywhere.
All the cables have a very thick insulation that is impregnated with rat poison.
The telephone companies learned very early they were building All You Can Eat buffets for vermin.
