My sister/neighbor spent $800 on the same thing several years ago and I thought that was crazy. I keep the hood open on the cars and that seems to really reduce the nest building in the engine area, along with some poison wedged here and there. But UNDER the car? I've seen squirrels poking around so they are my prime suspects. So:

  1. Has anyone tried spraying something like truck bed liner or something gnarly to reduce the gas line attraction?

  2. How about anti-skid paint or reflector paint with grit in the paint? Would that discourage chewing?

  3. Other textured product to discourage or repel? Scented solutions seem to be out there but temporary at best.

So any REAL successes for under-the-car chewers (or failures too, I guess) would be appreciated!
