Did you know that rodents can cause significant damage to your vehicle?


These pesky critters love to nest in cars, tucking themselves deep under the bonnet and feasting on your car’s wires and looms. This behaviour can lead to major malfunctions and costly repairs.


At M&BM Motors, we understand the frustration and inconvenience that rodent damage can cause. That’s why we now offer a specialised treatment to deter and protect your vehicle from these unwanted guests.


Why Do Rodents Nest in Cars?


Rodents, such as mice and rats, are attracted to the warmth and shelter that a car engine bay provides. During colder months, this becomes an ideal nesting spot. Unfortunately, the materials they find in your vehicle - like insulation and wiring - are perfect for building nests and gnawing to keep their teeth sharp.


The Consequences of Rodent Damage

Rodent damage can be extensive, affecting:


Electrical Systems: Chewed wires can lead to short circuits, malfunctioning lights, and even engine failure.


Insulation: Damaged insulation can cause overheating issues and decreased fuel efficiency.


Interior Damage: Rodents can also invade the cabin, damaging upholstery and leaving unpleasant odours.
