Last week a squirrel got into my gf's car at our house and damaged her main engine harness by making a nest and chewing wires. We got the car fixed and brought it back Friday night. On Sunday morning the same thing had happened and to a visitors car that we had over. We had sprayed the engine with peppermint rodent repellent but that did not work.
We've been told by the insurance people and mechanic that some parts are made with oils that squirrels are attracted to.
In my car I placed moth balls and a device that makes noise and emits ultrasonic sounds to try and deter from entering my engine. We've called some wild life removal businesses but a little pricey and they might trap some squirrels but we won't know if it's the same.
Is there anything I can do around the yard to try and deter them away? I've read everything online but thought some people here would have some other suggestions. And no I won't shoot them.
