But the led light idea? Now that just may work if they don't like the light!

I didn't mean to hijack a battery thread, but it seemed a good opportunity to relate a cure for rodents in the engine bay.

Our yard also has numerous cute little round-tailed ground squirrels. They look a bit like chipmunks, but no stripes and their tails are thinner. A proposed deterrent is dryer sheets in their holes - doesn't work. Also, cat poop (from the cat litter box) is supposed to discourage them - doesn't work. The only thing I've found that DOES work is to physically trap and remove them (we use Have-A-Heart traps and take them a couple of miles away). One summer we moved over 100 out of the backyard alone!

Maybe I ought to figure out a way to put LEDs into their homes! That DOES seem to protect engine bays.
