As winter sets in here in Barrie, Ontario, the cold temperatures drive rodents to seek warmth and shelter. Unfortunately, your car's engine bay often becomes the perfect hideout for these critters. The combination of warmth from the engine and the protection it offers from the elements makes your vehicle an attractive place for rodents during the colder months. But what does this mean for your car?

Why Rodents Seek Shelter in Your Vehicle

As temperatures plummet in winter, food becomes scarce, and rodents like mice and squirrels search for a safe, warm place to stay. Your car's engine compartment, with its warmth and hidden spaces, is a prime spot for these unwanted visitors. During winter, they're more likely to chew through wires and insulation as they nest, causing damage that may not be immediately visible.

The Damage Rodents Can Cause to Your Vehicle

While you might think of rodents only as a nuisance, they can wreak serious havoc on your car's electrical system. The most common issue is chewed wires. Rodents are known to gnaw on cables and wires, leading to short circuits or complete electrical failures. This damage can result in costly repairs, leaving you stranded in the cold. Additionally, they may chew through hoses and insulation, further compromising your vehicle's performance and safety.
