Let my 60 set for 45 days. Opened hood to find this. Battery box was stuffed with gravel! AARGHH!

I use Irish Spring bars of soap. They work.I heard moth balls work
I got moth balls and put them all over the engine compartment then I found out moth balls are like fire starters little napalm balls. Extremelly flammable. So I took them all out.I heard moth balls work
I don't know what created this. Pack rat maybe. I haven't seen any but have seen some sign. I do know it wasnt mice. The battery box had at least 20 lbs of gravel from parking area packed into it. Also, the nest was built very tight. I had to use a screwdriver and work hard to break it up.Is that woodrats causing that in your area?
I lived on a farm for years in a forested area and had to leave the hood of the LC open at night.
Filled my Rigid 4 gallon a few times. Found a couple stowaways.Seeing that makes me feel way better about the 7 cu gallons of mice nest that I vacuumed out of the last row of the headliner in the "Montana cruiser". I'm not ready to replace the headliner yet but could tell there was a nest in it that wanted to get out. I cut a 2" slit in the corner of the headliner and snaked the shop vac hose in and went at it for a couple hours. Burned up a shop vac in the process. Good to know re Irish Spring, not for the cruiser which is in the garage, but rather for my DD which sits outside at risk. We have a lot rats in our area and neighbors are reporting wiring damage to vehicles. Assume the Irish Spring would work with Norway Rats??
