Varmints under Hood

April 20, 2006, 07:15:11 pm

We just returned from a 10-day trip to a campground in the woods and found that at least one varmint (most likely a squirrel) had taken refuge overnight on top of our tow vehicle engine. I wasn't overly concerned except that I also found some pieces of firewall insulation as well. I'm sure that this could easily have been the engine bay of the coach, or, they could have entered into the plumbing area by climbing up the sewer hose.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to discourage the little creatures (e.g. mothballs or something)?

We are quite fond of this location and wish to continue to visit it annually during the springtime.

Thanks for any thoughts..

We have had the same problem.

Since we travel with a Jack Russell, haven't hade it again.
