They will chew through the filter media, and when the engine is started up, it sucks all that crap into the engine. I put a screen (galvanized 1/4" "gardeners cloth" works well) over the air intake to stop them from getting in that way.<br /><br />I also use prevention - plenty of good old-fashioned snap traps baited with peanut butter, distributed liberally around the outside of the vehicle. They always go for the peanut butter before they go for wiring.gsmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15173685591129678419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2906463626789064900.post-44051490963241883202012-02-20T14:55:51.991-05:002012-02-20T14:55:51.991-05:00Don't forget, another hazard of rodent infesta...Don't forget, another hazard of rodent infestation comes from the dried urine and feces - which can be chock-full of Hantavirus, a family of viruses that cause deadly pneumonia. Hantavirus is called Four Corners Disease in the American southwest, but there are strains everywhere, of varying virulence. Make sure to use gloves and a respirator when cleaning up rodent droppings and dried urine. Better safe than sorry."Little Bear"https://www.blogger.com/profile/03230682797419140475noreply@blogger.com
