Will mothballs keep rats and snakes away - Cars & Trucks

Mothballs

Hi Judy:
Don't know how your question got in the Cars and Trucks section, but had to reply anyway.
Can you give us a hint of your general location, and the kind of snakes you are dealing with?
If the snakes are not presenting a hazard to people they actually may be beneficial by eating rodents or other pests.
My suggestion would be to contact the local Government Conservation Officer for appropriate information.
Please reply as a comment to this post to let us know how it is resolved.
Cheers.

The kind that prolly bites. You posted in the car and truck section bud I highly doubt anyone knows the answer to this question

common garden snake,, 2 ' is a really large one.. harmless and eat mice, bugs, and rats

Mothballs.

Remove the blower motor that is where it will be have seen it many times. It will be a field mouse i bet.

Just read an article in Brake & Front End, (a professional
trade publication ) in the last hour ,about mice eating
the cop ignition wires on 1 coil & going under intake &
eating the knock sensor wires ,on a 2002 Lexus

They didn't say how to stop that

Usually they get into the ducting & you get no air to the
motor, after they bring in their nesting materials & food

You can install an ultrasound rat repellent like carcat.

Hi:
Unfortunately, there have been lots of cases of rodents chewing on car wiring. In the last five years or so, wire manufacturers have used soy beans as an ingredient in the insulation coating on automobile wiring,and it seems it is tasty to our small friends. Depending on where you park your car , will make you succeptible to it happening again. The Mom of a friend of mine had $1000 worth of damage to her car wiring, as some chipmunks had a field day with her newer car. She ended up placing some moth balls around where her car was parked, to keep the critters away. If you have wildlife near your car, look out!
