Do you know if mechanics or dealers would do that service for me?

My buddy is a honda tech and does cars 1-3x a week with rodent damage.
Not sure if anyone does proactive protection, he gave me a roll of the honda rodent tape and i wrapped the harnesses that come in

This is a very strange issue to be worried about simply based on stories on the internet. Unless the stories you've been hearing are specific to your area???

I would think it could be a problem if you know you have mice in your garage that you park in, or you’re parking in a barn. Maybe if your lot is next to a wooded area, idk.

Spray this red fox piss around your car.

3 times a week. 1 full circle around your car. 100% working

About one or two cats should do it, I hear they'll last a good 10-15 years
Cats these days are sooo lazy, plus they scratch the shit outta ur cars too.. ?

The Tacoma world is having the same issues with vermin nesting in the cabin filter area.
