Why not? They're just pellets. If they fall out when you're driving, just put some more under the hood at night.

This does not happen with traditional plastic wiring, but with new soy-based wiring used by several manufacturers.

You apparently have the soy-based wiring.

They crawl inside because it's warm and dry. Open hood = cold and uninviting

Keep your hood raised a few inches (put a block underneath).

it happened to me too, but I rarely drove my car (maybe once or twice a month). After it happened, I rented a spot in a garage. If that's not possible, maybe you could just drive your car more often---and not always park it in your spot, but on the street occasionally.

Park in a garage and take measures to control rodents in it.

I thought this was an urban myth, but rats ate my car wiring.

Any tips to prevent this from happening again?
