Hey,

I probably have a dozen squirrels that live in my back yard where I have large pecan trees, but I doubt they would do it. This was the first repair in 130,000 miles, and this car is an unbelievable vehicle.

U could very well have a mouse or squirrel problem, especially if U have oak or pecan trees near your driveway.
Several times, I've raised my hood and found acorn hulls piled up in a low spot on the engine. I have even put containers of decon or similar rat poison in the engine compartment which were emptied by some critter. This may not be a good idea if u have lots of cats in the neighborhood.

But this is a fact, if you've got any kind of tree nuts in your yard, you will have some mouses or squirrels around.
One other note, if you put any containers in your engine compartment, use double sided tape on the bottom so they'll stay in place and don't forget to remove before driving.
