Buy Cat, it's as simple as that. And extract some Cat fur and tie somewhere around your Car engine.
It happened to me few years ago. The car was parked for a couple of weeks till I was ready to fix it. What saved me was that a stray cat moved into the engine compartment eating them. It was when I opened the bonnet one day and the cat jumped out that I realised why I was seeing blood and eaten up rat parts on the engine earlier.

Just the fur from cat alone will do the majic, no rat will come close.

Mot balls, buy the big ones and drop at strategic locations inside your hood ( bonnet). If the rat infestation​ is that bad just mantain a container of ten to fifteen big size mot balls that you place under your car ( bonnet end) each evening after you use your car. Thank me later

I Googled the same issue and one of the solutions worked for me. Sprinkle black pepper around the engine and it works to deter or keep them off the engine. Black pepper is available in supermarkets like ShopRite.

My area has suddenly been filled with rats. Recently they have started attacking cars and causing havoc.

Two of my neighbours cars can no longer start. Just yesterday I decided to service my car and when the mechanic opened the hood, rat droppings and smell were everywhere.

Please how do I chase these demonic creatures away??. Someone suggested placing charcoal inside the engine compartment, but if the car is dtiven, would the charcoal not be heated up?

Thanks in advance.

Huge problem. Could lead to an engine bay fire in the right circumstances. Nothing beats prevention. Rodents are creatures of habit. Once they lock on it is hard to stop.

They are hiding from the heat of the harmattan. Put a cat there. No single rat would dare.

What are moth balls

Those solid, whitish and queasy scenting things you normally see in urinals and wash basins of public rest rooms to keep roaches coming up through the drains. Also known as 'camphor" in those days at school You place them in your luggage and locker to prevent your stuff turning to dust by vermins.

Moth balls don't chase them o, especially the big rats

You’re probably talking of the big, bold and nasty Agege rats! They seem to be mutating into another specie altogether! Horrible creatures! sad

Thanks

The camphor i know, the white ones, dont do it. I have put camphor in bags and rats still entered and did their jobs. Although it was in a house that is always empty, my holiday home. Thanks all the same.

How long does this last. Will it work in an unoccupied building?

Use camphor balls. The rats are attracted by the warm environment of your engine, but the camphor will drive them away because it is poisonous for them.

It does but you will need many. It's better to have a pet cat instead.
Cat seller can help you with the fur.
