I put an ultrasonic sound emitter that also has LED flashing lights on it under the hood of our new car that I found on Amazon. We live kinda rural and had rats sleeping on the engine within the first week of ownership. I've read modern wiring uses a coating that is quite appetizing to rats and mice. Once the box was installed the problem went away.
