daga naman!

[logbook]

sori guys, me again...

may ngatngat ng daga yung mga rubber stuff sa engine bay ko! first it was the tube for the windshield washer.... not really an essential part of the engine, pero nakakainis e.

THEN, i saw bite marks on one of the high tension wires!! i have to buy a whole set, kse hindi pwede tingi-tingi. it didnt reach the wires...pero bad trip.

now, how do i avoid this happening again. e parati namang malinis yung engine....minsan may engine wash pa sya. any suggestions?

logbook,

Dumb question, but I think it may be relevant: Where exactly do you park your car? In a garage? On the street?

If you do have a garage, you might want to make sure that your garage is fairly rodent/bug proof. Keep your garage doors shut as much as possible and make sure that you keep the surrounding area clean as possible, to deter rats and other vermin from coming back.

Out on the street, it may be a litte more difficult. Again, try to keep the area around your vehicle as clean as possible; i.e. no food to attract vermin.

You might also want to place rat traps/poison right around the spot where you usually park your car.

Deterrence is still the best way to avoid problems like yours (simply by keeping things clean), but if all else fails, the traps/poison should proactively solve any issues.

Good luck!

Hi guys. Ako naman last week lang pinasok ko yung oto ko sa casa kasi lumalabas "transmission malfunction" sa lcd. Sabi nung service rep nginatngat daw ng daga yung turbocharger hose ko kaya malabo yung takbo nung kotse nataranta daw siguro yung transmission sabi ni sir Niky.

Badtrip na mga daga. Ako naman rat killing method ko butane eh. Iniisip ko ssprayan ko ng butane sa mukha ng daga habang nasa fly trap para mamatay in a humane way. Eh sumobra yung flow nung butane nagyelo yung mukha niya. Well dedo parin

the insulation of most newer cars or newer wires are commonly made of soy plastic. they like the smell and gnaw on them. the older plastics which were made from petroleum by products were rarely, if at all, chewed by rodents.
in most parts of europe, it is not only rats that chew on the wires, the ferrets and squirrels as well. the europeans usually hang a small bag of cat hair or something from the cats and place them in fabric or stockings and hung inside the engine compartment to deter the rodents. there are some sprays to discourage the rats from infesting your car, the only thing is if your pets ride in the same car, these pets feel uncomfortable.

Yung Kotse ko kaya nasira at nabenta ng patapon dahil sa mga pesteng daga.
Kinain ung wire ng starter tapos ung charging tapos un bake lines. Kailangan ko na gumati.

I'm lucky never ko pa naranasan yan with my car... our street has so much rats roaming around at night, last night lang I saw a 10" rat dead in front of our gate...

Rat bait na nalang, lagay mo sa tabi ng each tire (dun sila umaakyat)... They're pretty smart, so place the rait poison inside some food... Di nila papansinin kung bait lang...

Be careful kung may pets ka, baka madali sila...

thanks guys....akala ko kse attracted sila sa smell or something e. malinis naman yung paligid ng car...pero minsan nga you see little rats that you want to step on (kadiri nga lang) :x
