Are you noticing some uninvited guests onboard your beloved car? There will be several noticeable symptoms that tells you there are some uninvited guests onboard your car.
The most noticeable symptom is when you can actually see the stains of rat excretion or rat faeces in your car’s engine compartment when you open up the engine cover. You will most likely see these stains on certain parts such as near the car battery holder, the fuse box or a spot where the rats can get comfortable hiding. They will also leave obvious clues such as a few scuffs or small punctures on the electrical cables, pipes or even plastic covers in your engine compartment.
It gets even worse when you can actually smell the bad odour from the rat excretion in your car cabin. The awful smell from the rats’ excretions or food leftovers can get into your car cabin through poorly done insulation or through the air filter.
Can you imagine smelling the rat’s pee and poop the whole day while you are driving?
Not only is the smell bad, you are also facing risks of getting a disease from these rodents!
So, are you wondering why the rats are still getting into your car even when you have already kept it as clean as a whistle?
Let us tell you why the engine compartment is their ideal place to host a ‘rat party’ or to build their nest. When your car is parked next to a “longkang”, which is known as the hot spot where rats hang out, they will come out from the drain during rainy days to look for a warm and dry place to stay. Yes, your car engine compartment is the ideal place as it is warm and dry!
The terrible smell and the mess these rats leave behind in your car would be a small part of the problem when compared to the damage they could do to your car!
They will chew through your electrical wirings, rubber and plastic components in your car engine compartment to grind their teeth, just like us cutting our nails. You will have to repair or replace these damaged parts immediately before it leads to engine malfunction, or if your car already couldn’t be started.
In some worse cases the damages will lead to road accidents because you might not even know important components such as brake cables have been seriously damaged by the rats!
And if you think getting the wirings repaired is cheap, well, think again. It would cost you few hundred or even up to thousands for workshops to check and find the spot that has been chewed through or damaged by rats!
