I read recently that they don't like red pepper or cayenne pepper . Maybe sprinkle some around the garage/carport/wherever you park the car. Hopefully this will chase them off .Helpful Reply -

Hope you don't have a newer Toyota that has soy coated wiring. Seems squirrels, rodents, rabbits really love to eat the "soy" - afterall it is a food. What was Toyota & others thinking?Helpful Reply- See 3 previous

Can you soak cotton balls in mint essential oil, then place them in old stockings, and, when you park your car for overnight, open the hood and place all around the engine compartment? Or, just make a whole bunch and place them under the car?Helpful Reply -
