I have been storing my 80 in my backyard in Mesa--I have some horse stalls with a shade structure back there, but no horses. A few months back I opened my hood and saw some evidence that a rodent or two had been hanging out in my engine bay. So I did an internet search and bought some moth balls. I laid the open bag of moth balls across the engine-- making sure to remove them when I drove it----and the problem disappeared. Till now. And now it looks like I have a whole herd of rodents living in my engine bay. And right next to the bag of moth balls.
I am not sure what kind of rodents these are. Roof rats have been seen in my neighborhood. And these rodents clearly were eating some citrus fruit--- which are all over my neighborhood. But they could also be just regular old rats. Or maybe packrats.
The good news is that I haven't found any evidence that they were eating engine wiring. But maybe that is only because the neighborhood is full of fruit right now.
So what should I do for a new plan?
