Default Rats love to eat the coating on electrical wiring.

I see people leaving their garages doors open to cool things down. BEWARE!
We have a house in Mexico and it’s common knowledge that rats ( not squirrels) crawl under the car hood to eat electrical wiring in parked vehicles. We leave rat poison under the hood now before we leave for the season after we had damage. These rats are not palm rats either, so all rats enjoy the coating on the wiring.
