Keep An Eye Out For The Unwanted Passengers!

In horror films, rats are portrayed as illness, decay, and death however rats are prolific, highly social, and remarkably intelligent rodents. People are likely to welcome guests in their cars in the same way they do in their homes. However, not everyone is welcomed in the car. The real nightmare begins when rats find a cozy place to wine and dine under your vehicle’s hood!

Rats have been known to climb up car wheels and crawl into the brakes, and engines of cars. They can make nests, store food, and even have pups in the structures underneath the hood

These creatures can seek shelter under the hood of your car, mainly on chilly winter days. Car engines are generally warm, dry, and undisturbed, making them a perfect place for rodents to eat, rest, or breed. Because of the abundance of polymeric materials, they are attracted to your cars and trucks which were proven to be a delicious feast for them and once inside, the rodents will cause serious damage to the vehicle, damage that may end up costing you a lot of money. So you don’t want these obnoxious creatures in the driver’s seat.

These are some recent shreds of evidence where rats invaded the cars!

A family of rats sets a man’s car on fire by chewing through its wires

The Moss Vale fire station posted photos of the wreckage on Facebook. ‘During the colder months, rodents seek shelter, store food and quite often take up residence under the bonnets of cars, the post read. Unfortunately, rats also find the wiring systems in cars and other vehicles perfect for nibbling and chewing on in to keep their teeth sharp.’ A spokesperson from NSW Fire and Rescue told Daily Mail Australia the Captain of the crew could not be 100 percent sure if it was a rat or mouse nest. They confirmed that no animal remains had been found in the engine, and said the car had been garaged for over six weeks and had not been driven in that time.  

The spokesperson said that while the car fire wasn’t directly linked to the mouse plague, checking vehicles for traces of rodents or their nests should be a safety consideration every winter. 

Hungry rats costing Brisbane car owners thousands in repairs

One Holland Park resident, Tanya Wright, was recently hit with a costly bill after her car wouldn’t start.

Her mechanic discovered the engine’s wiring had been almost entirely stripped by hungry rats.

“All the coating of the wiring had been gnawed off a couple of thousand dollars worth of damage,” Ms. Wright told ABC Radio Brisbane.

“They go in there looking for warmth from the motor and they discover things they like to chew.”

Rodents have fond of gnawing on engine wires. They have two pairs of razor-sharp incisors that grow continuously throughout their life and to keep them in check they chew on things.

Wires and cables, gasoline tanks, ducts, cable carriers, chairs, and other car components are chewed by the rats thus, creating a nuisance. Short circuits can occur if rodents chew away at the insulation covering the wires. The cost of replacing these critical parts in cars is substantial and the insulation on your new wires can simply be chewed away when you fix the wires!

Because of the harm that rats, mice, and other rodents can do, no one wants them in their car and if things get worse, it might be risky. If you’re bothered by unwelcome visitors like rats, mice, and other rodents, then don’t worry!

The story of rats and cars!

Family cars and automobiles have a very special place in the hearts of the members of the family. More often than not, they will have discussed at length, thought about it and saved up for years before buying that vehicle. So much thought and efforts go into planning the finances and situations around the event of the purchase. After all that hassle, to know that the precious vehicle is being attacked would be no less than horrifying!

To find the culprit and stop the attack would be the most prioritized task. What if the attackers turn out to be relentless? What if there seems no plausible way to stop the culprits? What if days after days they attack the vehicle and damage it? The situation would turn so hopeless and bleak. One would stop to think who these assailants are. They are none other than the pesky rodents that we see everywhere. Rats can be found on the busy sidewalk of roads and bigger rodents like raccoons can be found around your backyard and in bushy areas. Moles and gophers like to ruin your gardens and lawns. These rodents are present everywhere. They chew on everything available making life miserable for everyone around.

The rodents chew the wires and cables, fuel reservoirs, ducts, cable carriers, seats, etc. from the cars causing a nuisance. Replacement of these vital parts from the cars is expensive.

Your cars and vehicles prove to be nice feasts for them because of the ample amounts of polymeric materials present in them that they are attracted to. Yes, this is the truth of what is happening around the world. Parked cars not only tempt them with the availability of abundant food but also the comfort of warm resting space. It is relatively easy for them to make their way inside the vehicle. The electrical wirings and systems directly lead them to the bonnet of the car, where they can build nests and damage the wirings. The damage they cause can sometimes be very difficult to locate, resulting in large repair bills!

Recent news article clippings that have reported such incidences are presented below:

Raccoon breaks into Spokane family’s car while the family was out of town

Apr 22, 2021 

“I found raccoon prints all on the inside of the car and the outside of the car and some big teeth marks on the front seat,” Liz Cole said.

While away, a local Raccoon had broken into their car and rummaged around, causing damage to the inside and outside of the vehicle.

Raccoons are known for getting into trash cans, crawling into chimneys and making homes in attics and crawl spaces. One Raccoon, named Rebecca, even lived at the White House during the Coolidge presidency. But wild raccoons, though seemingly cute, are dangerous and can be a carrier of rabies.

“We got a little bit used to being in the city where there is not as much activity with animals so we have realized we have to be a little more careful,” Cole said.

Hungry rats costing Brisbane car owners thousands in repairs

April 24, 2021

Brisbane’s cooler months have prompted warnings that rats may be looking for a cosy place to wine and dine — such as your car engine.

One Holland Park resident, Tanya Wright, was recently hit with a costly bill after her car wouldn’t start.

Her mechanic discovered the engine’s wiring had been almost entirely stripped by hungry rats.

“All the coating off the wiring had been gnawed off — a couple of thousand dollars’ worth of damage,” Ms Wright told

“They go in there looking for warmth from the motor and they discover things they like to chew.”

Ms. Wright said she contacted Brisbane City Council, which sent forth rat dogs to sniff out the problem.

But her car remains at the mechanic’s and her insurance policy does not cover rat damage.

Ms. Wright urged people to double-check their insurance policy to avoid a steep bill.

“We had rats in our car, they ate through all the wiring, our kids’ car seats and even chewed the seatbelts,” she said.

One listener urged that caution when using rat baits around children and pets, while another warned about confusing rats with native mammals such as antechinus.

We, at C Tech Corporation, can provide with an extremely low toxic, low hazard, effective and efficient solution. RodrepelTM is an anti-rodent, anti-animal polymer additive. It is specially designed for polymeric applications. The masterbatch can be incorporated in insulation, wires, door cladding, carpet, plastic accessories, seat cushions, car covers, polymeric switch panels, components of ignition box, fuel tanks, fuel hoses, foam seats, etc. RodrepelTM lacquer can be coated on already installed wires, polymeric hoses, fuel tanks, battery box, ducts, door cladding, etc.

Our newly developed product in the form of a spray is a must-have product for every car owner! Rodrepel™ Rodent Repellent Spray is specially designed for cars. The product can be sprayed on the car components after clearing the dust and waste from the components. The product when applied properly repels the rodents and protects the cars from rodent damage.

RodrepelTM works on the mechanism of repellence. It does not kill target species but only repels them.

Our product is FIFRA exempted and is also REACH, RoHS, RoHS2, APVMA, NEA and EU-BPR complaint.

RodrepelTM will be the best solution to keep rodents away from your cars.

Uninvited Passengers under Hood!

Your car is your beloved companion. It adds little joy to your life by taking you from place to place. But did you know your car could be haunted by those pesky yellow-bellied rodents?

These creatures might snuggle under your car’s hood!

During the winter and spring months, when it’s cold outside they hibernate. They can freeze or starve if they don’t store enough fat so, a car is the perfect nesting place for them. Car engines are normally warm, dry, and undisturbed, making them a perfect place to eat, rest, or breed. And once they get inside, they will cause serious damage to the vehicle, the damage that may end up causing holes in your pocket. So you surely don’t want these creepy critters.

Marmots are large ground herbivorous squirrels, which includes 15 species and found in Asia, Europe, and North America. They are large rodents with short legs and enlarged claws adapted for digging. Despite being known to cause damage to gardens and crops they can be a serious threat to cars!

Your car would be eaten by marmots. Not the whole vehicle, just your radiator hoses, brake lines, and hood insulation. They prefer radiator hoses to search for an alternative for ethylene glycol which is found in anti-freeze liquid. Antifreeze has a naturally sweet taste and fragrance that pull marmot’s attention in.

The tasty rubber and plastic bits of your engine are attracting attention among marmots, but most marmot species have a voracious hunger for the most delicate car parts.

Here is the evidence of the same.

Marmot Rescued from the engine compartment of a car

Springville | March 26, 2020

When a Utah woman noticed something wrong with her car last week, she took it into a maintenance shop to see what the problem was. It turned out a large rodent was stowed away inside the engine compartment of her vehicle.

The woman brought her car to a Jiffy Lube in Springville on Saturday after noticing debris and some oil on the ground near her car. Mechanics opened up the hood and said there appeared to be a marmot stuck inside, according to Utah Division of Wildlife Resources conservation officer Sean Spencer.

After making some calls, Spencer was dispatched to help. The rescue was caught on camera and it shows the creature peering from underneath the vehicle’s engine hoses.

Along with this, a marmot pup causes the damage of more than $1,000 by climbing around in someone’s car in Crested Butte. Also, according to Harold Werner, Biologist, U.S. Fish, and Wildlife Service,

“Some 200 marmots do this every year, damaging 20 to 40 cars in Mineral King Valley”

These critters wreak havoc every year in the Mineral King area in California. It seems like marmots wait for cars to show up near that area!

These creepy critters may look cute but they can also carry diseases like plague and fleas can come in contact with humans and pets which are spread by marmots. Their droppings carry parasites and bacteria which may cause diarrhea and nausea.

Though marmots are the most well-known engine wreakers, they also transform grassland landscapes, providing habitats for many other species. They have often been considered ecosystem’s engineers!

So, it is important to keep marmots away from our vehicles but also keep in mind that they are not harmed or destroyed by us.

Not only marmots but other rodents like rats and squirrels are especially fond of gnawing on engine wires. Short circuits can occur if rodents chew away at the insulation covering the wires, resulting in costly engine damage. And the insulation on your new wires can simply be chewed away when you fix the wires!

Your car engine could be a desirable nest for rodents. They can use the engine’s insulating fabrics nesting material. There are several dark corners in the engine that could serve as safe havens for baby rodents.

Below is the news reported a few weeks ago.

‘Dublin couple may have to fork out thousands after rats chew through car’

A Dublin couple fears they will have to fork out thousands to repair their car after it was destroyed by rats at a city center flat complex.

The couple’s 2017 car had only just passed its NCT when it was destroyed by the rodents, who chewed through the electronics, sending the motor haywire at the Vincent Street Flats in Dublin.

The woman told Dublin Live: “We were out in the car on weekend and everything was grand.

“We didn’t go out on weekend but when we went out, my husband turned on the engine, and all the engine management lights all started flashing and beeping and saying the tyres were down and other things were wrong.

“He got out and checked the tyres and they were all fine but then when he was parking he realized the parking sensor wasn’t working either.”

The worried couple took the car to their mechanic who immediately spotted that the damage had been done by rats that have been plaguing the area for several years.

The couple is now waiting anxiously to find out how much it is going to cost to carry out the extensive repairs.

So, what can be the effective steps taken to keep them away from the cars without destroying them?

Now, the world is becoming environment conscious day by day so we at C Tech Corporation developed environment-friendly, non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-mutagenic, and non-carcinogenic product range to fight the problem without killing the pests.

Our product, Rodrepel, is anti-rodent and animal aversive that works on the principle of repellence. Its mechanism works on 6 prolonged strategies which not only effective against marmots but will keep away other rodents like squirrels, rats, beavers, and gophers.

Rodrepel is available in the form of a masterbatch, liquid concentrate, lacquer, and sprays.

The masterbatch can be incorporated with the polymer to manufacture cable sheathing and interior polymeric parts.

The liquid concentrate can be mixed with paints and used to coat cars and lacquer can be used as a topical application for existing wires, radiator hoses, and inside of the car.

The ready-to-use Rodrepel spray is easy to use and protects cars from rodent damage. It can be easily sprayed on any car parts.

The product is compliant with RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, REACH, APVMA, NEA, EU-BPR, and FIFRA exempted.
