RV damage - They ate most of the firewall insulation in the engine compartment. Not yet repaired.
car damage - They ate the wire which the engine computer uses to tell the transmission when to shift. $120 plus towing and a bunch of wasted time
I don't know what to do. Bait stations? An ultrasonic thing like Rid-a-Rat?
Suggestions please. Nothing 12V or solar. Thanks for any ideas you can provide.
Baited rodent stations around the RV's perimeter. Removing all harborage in the form of weeds and cracks in walls and sidewalks. Caulk the RV up w/ in an inch of it's existence. Since your RV is kept in a shared space I'd strongly suggest you bring this problem to the notice of whoever is responsible for maintaining the space. Very difficult to get rid of your problem if everyone else is not on board.
