In our own garage. Co-incidentally (or maybe NOT co-incidentally) I caught a glimpse of a rat out of the corner of my eye, scurrying around the pool only a couple of weeks ago. Our garage and grounds are now littered with baits. Obsessively, I'm checking them every morning to see if they've been chewed. So far, no evidence.

I think the question was which wires/where did they chew? Any photos?

Oh I see, silly me. No, the indy didn't get any photos, and I didn't have time to hang around to have a look while he took the car apart. Afterwards I asked him which wire, and he said "er...the blue one!"
Not very informative, but hey, I'm happy having my car back without a damage bill you can't jump over.

Just a side note re rats and mice eradication. Owls are thought of as a favourite predator on rats and mice, however rat/mice poison can kill them too as a secondary action. Then there is the pet danger.
My old Landcruiser was substantially damaged by a rat from the inside and some mice from under the bonnet so I'm no rodent lover. My auto electrician doesn't like them either. - I do like Owls.

A NEW STUDY has found that household rodenticides are having adverse effects on Australian boobook owls (Ninox boobook) through secondary poisoning; a process where the owl consumes poisoned rodents, resulting in death. The number of boobook owls has been dwindling over the past 10 years

cheers

I can buy rat poison at Bunnings. Last check I can’t buy owls. Where does one get an owl to protect their assets?
