Default Don't Keep Rats as Pets

Well, its that's time of the year again. With the temperatues dropping, the rats and mice are seeking a place to stay warm, which is apparently my garage. I really don't mind sharing, however, when they start chewing through my hoses and wires on my vehicle, that's where I draw the line.

Started my LS yesterday and got the dreaded check engine light. Took the car in for service and was told several emission hoses and wires were "chewed" to the point of failure. The bill $265.00 and 5 days wait for parts.

Lesson learned - remember to feed the rodents every fall with "special" bait from Home Depot, before they feed on your vehicle

I saw those devices at the store. Didn't know if they actually worked. Thanks for the feedback
