Can't the charcoal catch fire? Or would he be removing it daily before driving?
Yes at bold
But he doesn't drive everyday, if he drives daily, rats can't attack the car. They are only attracted to idle vehicles.

Charcoal isn't petrol bro .. They don't catch fire like that.. You have to heat them up before they turn red hot meaning they can withstand high temperature before burning...

Secondly, they will be placed at strategic areas in the car and of course I don't expect anyone to put them on the engine ( it won't even stay on the engine) .

Peace

Buy charcoal and place it at strategic points in the car. Rats can smell the charcoal and will be fooled into thinking that the place is burning.

They will not return. I had a similar issue last year while in Nigeria. I saw a post here and did the same thing.
Thank u for this. I get the same issue too grin grin

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 .
No wonder you are calling other people rats grin

indocid has been doing wonders since time immemorial, just buy fish and mix it the only disadvantage is they can come and die in your room . They will never die where they ate it

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


Yes, they eat wires anyhow. It happened to me back then but I had to buy rat poison and placed it in strategic places around my engine housing. The rats ate the poison and one after the other they got wiped out. The poison even killed agamma lizards that found their way to my car's engine.

Use rat poison or pump the engine section with insecticide to force them out.
