Engine with Rodents - MG Pest Control get a fair few calls from clients with a suspected rodent problem in their car. Upon inspecting the car, there is clear rodent damage. Rodents are attracted to the warmth of the car, plus shelter, especially as the weather gets colder. Rats also like the insulation around the wire system in cars and vans, as well as lorries.

If you are seeing rats near your vehicles, definitely do something about it. If rats, or mice, chew the wiring system - this will be expensive to repair, not to mention very annoying.

As mentioned before, this can be expensive to fix, not to mention the inconvenience of losing your car for a while.
