I had rats in the engine compartment before, tried the pepper and other things, but being marsh rats it did not faze them. I finaly caught a rat snake and put it under the hood, no more rats! Just the smell of the snake ran them off and the snake usually will not stay under the hood for lack of food!! That was 10 months ago and I still don't have rat problems in the truck, but the car..... time to find another rat snake.
