Thought I would share this. I left my 2016 Touring out of the garage for a couple of weeks only to find a trove of nuts stored in the hood. Luckily not wires eaten through, this time.

What You Can Do
We found a clever solution in a TSB from Honda: rodent-deterrent tape, essentially an electrical tape treated with super-spicy capsaicin, which Honda describes as “the stuff that puts the fire in a bowl of five-alarm chili.” The tape (part number 4019-2317) is available through dealers for about $36 for a 20-meter roll, about 22 yards. You'll also find it online.
