    Peppermint Oil po doc, tried and tested ko narin. If you don't want to take care of cats as pets. They can also be a source of problems kasi if they like to sleep inside the engine bay.

    Pepper corns will also do, but kind of messy.

    Most large supermarkets have it sir and you can also order online from Shopee or Lazada now, I believe.

    Just soak some cotton balls and place them in locations where rats might pass. You can also place them inside your engine bay if you remember to remove them before driving off.

    Welcome sir, I suddenly remembered that those shops and kiosks that sell electric humidifiers also sell them by the bottle.

    Wifey likes to buy the Lavender oil and Citronella to keep mosquitoes away.

    I'm not sure if it really works on cats, we have a house cat but she never goes near our cars, I guess because she was raised to always be indoors whenever possible. Especially now that it's raining.

    Let us know if it works on felines as well sir.

    Rat droppings inside the engine bay are a very bad indication, and you also have to worry about Leptospirosis where they pee.

    Good luck.

    You can buy anti rat spray available sa FB. Effective base sa mga users.
