Rodents eating your wiring?

I’m pretty vigilant in keeping rodents out from under the hood of my cars, don’t like having to fix wires some rat, mouse or squirrel found to be a tasty treat. I found this information from Honda, just thought I’d share!

Who knew! It’s naughty to gnaw on the wiring!!

It's because they use the soy and other food based insulation for the wiring and it's food for them.

That’s even more astonishing, soy bean based wiring insulation, can I get an extra egg roll with that!

I'm sure an egg roll can happen since China is where the wire comes from.

Soy is the new peanut! Can make most anything from it.

here, some squirrels ate a steel gas pipeline, it is unlikely that American steel is made from soybeans or corn, rather American squirrels are insane

LOL If you are in the vicinity of DC and surrounding area all living things are insane. The swamp is contagious.
