Ahhh Rats

[Bulletman]

Gday All,
So since leaving Darwin we've lived in caravan park till just recently, and I've been working away alot. So get home yesterday and thought I havent lifted the bonnet for a while and bugger me a rats nest has been made near the negative terminal and they have pulled apart the cover that covers the rocker cover and also chewed partially thru 1 of the wires that go to the big plug beside the battery.
So a couple of questions... what is that plug ? Plus does anyone know of a spray covering or similar that i can use on the exposed wire as i think to tape it would be very hard given the amount of wire tightly packed in that spot.
Thanks and cheers Bulletman

Can't picture the plug. Can you add a pic?

Can't help with your questions but some cement mixed with a small amount of icing sugar won't draw attention to you vehicle in a caravan park but will see the vermin disappear...

I think that's what the birds around here eat before crapping on my car!

The bats eat it around here,as well,then fly around during the night and aim for one of the vans

Leave it for a day or two,and yes it definitely has concrete in it.

Thankfully the car is under cover.

Silicon

If you mean silicone it’s also vital to specify neutral cure lest the acetic acid in the normal silicone convert some of that copper into copper acetate.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the additional information.

That explains the hardening, now can anyone explain how a metre long streak can come out of bird that is not even a foot tall?

Excrement defies all known laws of physics. Anyone who's changed a nappy will back that one up.
