Queensland Stinger with free rats

[DCBStingerGT]

The photo below shows a wire that the Queensland Stinger owner says has been chewed by rats. Looks like that black insulation foam has also been chewed at.

So it’s a rat rod then! Lol

Good Gosh!

I've read that carmakers use insulation made from soy. Rats and mice chewing wiring has been a problem as long as I can remember.

Interesting mike.

Take your "like". I shouldn't have laughed. But I love dad jokes.

Isn't "soy" an curse word in Texas?

Holy crap! It's always something. I never even imagined such a thing. What is the solution?

Oh, just don't order the soy alternative. Get the beef or chicken wiring.

I'll go with the cyanide wiring, thank you.

That's not an option on the 2018. In the configurator look for quick order option 301c. The dealer will tell you it doesn't exist, but don't believe them.

Aus: the land of giant spiders, poisonous ants, rabid kangaroos and insatiable rats in packs. The US has "weather". I'll take the weather, thank you.

Weather...I agree 100%

That happens with Kias built at the Georgia factory as well. I've seen posts where people had dead mice or mice nests in their cabin filter. Comes from Kia parking cars out in the fields surrounding the factory for months at a time before shipping them out.

We have the rats. Atlanta is a city in a forest - seems crazy but look at satellite pics. There's no escaping rats (although encouraging friendly snakes can help..)

I've dealt with the same issues for years. The little poison pouches seem to work best, but the deceased vermin can then be a hazard for pets..

 

[MerlintheMad]

Let the pets take the risk. I'll save my car. Heartless self-interest, I know. I'm unapologetic about it too. I have no pets. Keep yours under supervised care and we won't cross paths.

Ask them if they want fries with that.... lol

Don’t forget the sharks!

Oh, if I was going to leave the land, I'd mention their jellyfish first, legendary nastiness!
