yes you read correctly a Rat has decided the front engine compartment is a nice place for his home!!

I'm from the UK and have a IS220D i dont if other lexus's are different the 220D has an underside cover underneath the engine and the rat comes and sits there at night a looks hes making himself at home, i have pull out packets of sweets etc

thanks god he isnt eating any wiring!! as i know they can do this

i tried all pest control to try to kill em but he is a crafty character

i was wondering about the underside cover if take that of will it possibly damage my car i think it only on there to reduce sound of engine but atleast mr rat wont have anywhere to sit

p.s i will be posting pics of my car soon as some people requested this but will wait tilll weekend need to wash car

hahah wow... thats a new one, now the UB40 song Rat in mi Kitchen is playing over n over in my head

i dont know what to tell you, at nite put some peanut butter on a sticky trap and slide it under your car, maybe that will draw him out...

Buy a cat and create a bigger space under the engine.

LoL, it's happened on a number of occasions, your car is probably the warmest spot outside for it to sleep in. Better the car than your house. Like others have said, peanut butter on a glue trap is a remedy... Good luck

Definitely get a glue trap and put some food on there.

Do rates hate smoke lmao? I would smoke him out or something then be prepared with a bb gun for attack!

there's a old thread on here about rats in engine bays, can't find it though since search reads only 4+ chars.

OH! why dont you put the car in a garage and put the engine on and let it run for a while... isnt that how people suicide? maybe stick a hose in the exhaust and run it to the engine...and hope the rat suffocates from the exhaust?

I'm sure the carbon monoxide thing would seem like a good idea until the thing is dead. And at that point, if you can't get to its carcass, that smell of rotting rat will surely suck.

Next time you see him down there, hop in the car and start her up... get on the nearest highway and floor it.
