John,

Here are 2 options.
1-I've heard that fabric softener sheets repel rodents.  I don't know if 
it works, because I am a firm believer in my second suggestion.

2-Go to a local shelter, give them money (donation) and they will give you 
semi-feral cats that will keep the rodents away.

I have cats (pets) inside my 200+ year old farmhouse and cats outside on 
the farm.  I feed them whenever they come up to the house, but mostly, 
they dine on mice and such.  I ended up putting cat doors on all my 
buildings so they can get in, and I even leave the windows and glove 
compartment doors open on my vehicles that I don't use often.  I don't 
have a rodent problem anymore.

When I first moved in, it was a constant battle inside and outside my 
house.  But now, I got some great little friends that earn their keep!

I had similar issues and I tried silicone over fiberglass sheathing
intended for high temperature wire protection.
https://www.jegs.com/i/Moroso/710/72012/10002/-1
So far they don't seem to like it.  Most of my trailer wiring is in metal
and PVC conduit, so I only needed short pieces of sleeving where the wires
connect to lights and brakes.

I had a problem with some sort of small animal climbing in the car 
engine compartments and eating small fruits from a neighbor's tree and 
leaving behind a poop mess.  I cleaned up the mess and sprayed the 
engine compartment perimeter (stuff that doesn't get real hot) with 
castor oil. This worked fine for my wife's VW.  My GT6 was likely too 
open and they came back, so I plugged in a Victor pest repeller like 
these with good results:

Out (indoor only) cats like to chew on USB cords, speaker wires, etc. The l=
ittle bastards.

Anyway, I wipe the wire down with teatree oil that keeps them from chewing.=
 Stuff smells like ass but it works.

Subject: [Shop-talk] compat with squirrels

In a continuing battle with squirrels, I spent most of the day rewiring my =
utility trailer wiring where they had chewed it into pieces.
I posted a pic if the battery cable terminals they destroyed before and aft=
er checking the wiring I looked at the terminals and they had started on th=
em again
this is the first set

my only happy spot is that they will die a slow painful death from lead poi=
soning.

I have had the same battle, except with mice eating the wiring on my 
boat trailer.  I have had reasonable success with a product like this:

https://www.wirecare.com/category/braided-sleeving/heavy-duty-sleeving/rodent-resistant-sleeving/rrn1.25db-rodent-resistant-1-1-4-dark-brown-5-ft-cuts

It is a sheathing impregnated with capsaicin, which is what makes 
chili peppers hot.  I have not had any mice eat through this, but if 
there is any wire at all left unprotected, they manage to find 
it.  You have to be careful with this stuff.  Wear rubber gloves and 
do not touch your eyes or face or you will be very unhappy.
