Many of the rat poisons are no longer effective. Op, may be sniper would do the trick with it's strong odour

Hello People,

Rat in your car engine? Is like you are a very dirty person

If you have a car, you will know how dumb this your comment is. Doesn't matter if your car is dirty or not, rats are always going to try to live in it. I have a decent 2012 Acura TL, my compound is cleaning and I'm facing the same issue.

Get a rodent spray repellant....or change the location of your car..(parking area)

I am also experiencing same thing!
Is it your personal compound?
Many will suggest camphor, charcoal etc but many of these things don't work on our naija rats. Rats can be very stubborn. I just spent money replacing my ac & ac filter because of rats. Though the car was idle for long though. How long do u leave the car stay idle?

Longsleeve:

Oya buy another car for them to stay.. maybe a condemned car..

You are correct, their is a trash bin nearby.
Thanks for this insight.

sixtus3606:


Oga, it's either you park close to a dustbin, or you place a dustbin close to your car.

Now you know the solution.

Very simple. Burn the car, All the rats will die forever. Good luck. Share feedback after.

yuskel:
I heard they could cause serious electrical issues by eating the car wiring.
Reason why I am bothered.

Yes o
U need to take it serious.
Do not make them too comfortable, even if it means to park the car in another spot, it is very important. Before they destroy your car. They nearly destroyed my corolla as the car was just idle for too long.

ChiefSosa:
Give them eviction notice. If they refuse to move, then send area boys to throw aways their loads.

Cheif when last did you go for your mental check up?
I think it's high time you go see them at Yaba.

olumzzz:
Your problem is Jerry.
Just buy Tom.
Shikena

You probably never watched Tom and Jerry.......how many times have you seen Tom deal with Jerry. If Jerry is your problem just get very potent rat poisins and ensure you hv them placed in strategic locations

let see the pictures of the acura

They sent me back to my village from my farm ; I will send the position I used when I get back to Osogbo to you it works like magic , you need to add to fish or pelletized chicken feeds you will thank me later

A satchet cost 100 NGN

Nnamaka1:
Get peppermints leaves or spray and put in all places they like to stay. It will drive them away. Thank me later

I heard this also works effectively to chase them off.
Please what is Peppermint called in local parlance.

My best advice is to invite DSS to carry out their normal invasion, do this and thank me later.

iReddington:
He said car engine o and this is actually a serious concern for car owners because these shifty little rodents chew on wires and other sensitive parts, so if you have no idea or help to offer just skip the thread and let sensible people comment please.

Honestly!
So many comments making a joke out of it, not knowing this is a very serious issue for car owners who ride their cars occasionally!

Don't crack my ribs, I beg.
Lwkmd!

greggng:



You never seize to amaze me. What of me that allowed them to stay in my house yet what did I get ? They kept eating my leftovers and at the end they will mess my house with their shit....I kept on fumigating but he refuse to go...he even threaten to chase me out of my house with his annoying behaviour. Last week I saw him doing jangolover on the dstv cable ...I begin to wonder if this one is a witch . Anyways his days are now numbered cos I am planning to buy a cat ...i am tired of poisoning him with out sucess .

yuskel:
I will try this, many thanks!

If u are going to use charcoal, ensure u remove them before u ride the car. But charcoal didn't work for me though. If there is space in your compound, best approach is to change parking spot at intervals.

Charcoal will help you keep them away

Is your car parked for a long period of time. If the answer is yes then try warming up your car for few days. The rats won't return

Buy sniper open it and keep it inside the bonnet,Note: keep it in away that it will not pour away and come and thank me later

Bring a typical TIV man to stay in your compound for a day

All you need do is run your engine for 10 to 15 minutes late every night before you sleep and first thing in the morning when you wake up. Try this for 2 weeks...might work
