Why can't they just lace the soy with cayenne pepper.

All of the above creatures are cute, but still a PITA.

At issue is soy-based insulation surrounding engine wiring

Your call, of course, as a moderator, but, in response to your question, you might consider merging it with this one:

mmarshall,
That is one cute pic.
Maybe it's just me but I definitely would not put my nuts so close to that mouth.

This "Little Guy" was caught in my wife's Camry (traded later for an LS). It was eating the wiring in the trunk and was somewhat successful. The car was still rather new and went in for scheduled service the technicians found signs of "sabotage"! He had chewed, but not severed several wires on the main harness (from what we remember) going to the back of the car.

She had taken a trip and flown from the airport in Austin, Texas and we are thinking maybe that's where he hitched a ride. Her sister had heard reports on the news of large rats in the airport on news reports.

We finally got him.....
