Squirrel caused engine ck light

[timjet]

A friend of mine just happened to be at Lazy Days campground in Tampa when he got a check engine light. After some investigation it was determined that a wiring harness had been damaged by a squirrel which of course is not covered by warranty.

$400 later and he's on his way. That got me to thinking, has anyone come up with a way to eliminate squirrels in the engine compartment? He has a Tiffin gasser and he thinks the squirrels did the damage while his MH was parked at his home, not the campground.

I used rat poison after twice having damage to my truck- they built a nest under the intake manifold, cleaned that out and dumped poison all around. No more trouble

I have been a fan of dryer sheets to keep rodents out of my hot rod when in storage. Some say it does not work but I have had 0 issues in 5 years of stuffing them in every nook and cranny.

Problem with poison is another animal like a dog could eat the carcass and then die... traps work well

Tried the dryer sheets, the rats tore them up to make nests. Next tried coyote urine product, worked great.
