PredatorPee® - Stops Rodent Chewing of Soy-Based Wire Covers in Vehicles
Eco-friendly wire covers in automobiles please rodents but anger drivers. Creative auto mechanics have discovered a way to prevent the rodent damage - predator urine.
Hermon, ME, February 01, 2016 --(PR.com)-- According to NBC News, Honda is being sued because their environmentally friendly car wiring with a soy-based coating is too tempting for rodents to resist. A federal class-action lawsuit filed in Los Angeles in early January of 2016 demands Honda pick up the tab for the damage caused by gnawing mice, rabbits and squirrels.
According to NBC, “the breach of warranty lawsuit results from the automaker's quest to 'go green' by using soy-based biodegradable wire coating." The coating costs less than plastic but does have a downside, according to lead plaintiff Daniel Dobbs of Wyoming. In the lawsuit, Dobbs alleged that he had to pay twice to have chewed-up wires in his 2012 Honda Accord replaced at a Honda dealership. The second time, he said, mechanics wrapped the wires in special tape intended to deter rodents, demonstrating that Honda is aware of the issue. That means car owners should not have to foot the bill for the repairs, argues Dobbs, who was joined by Honda owners in Arizona and Texas in suing Honda.”
This is not a new problem and creative auto mechanics have discovered a very effective solution. In 2013 The Los Angeles Times reported that rabbits had eaten their way through the soy-based wiring in cars parked at the Denver International Airport.
"They come to the recently driven cars for warmth, and once they're there, they find that many of the materials used for coating ignition cables are soy-based. And the rabbits find that quite tasty," Wiley Faris of Arapahoe Autotek repair center told the newspaper.
Faris suggested a solution for anyone seeking to prevent their car from becoming a critter snack shack - coating the wires with fox or coyote urine. "Predator urine is a good deterrent," Faris said. "That stuff can take care of the critter damage pretty quick."
According to Ken Johnson of PredatorPee.com, a Maine-based company that has been selling predator urine as an animal deterent for over 30 years; “when PredatorPee® is applied to the car wires, it creates the illusion to mice, squirrels, rabbits etc. that a predator is nearby and the flight instinct takes over - the wires are not chewed and critters leave.”
