In the summer time I have a problem with chipmunks getting under my hood and taking insulation from the firewall to put in their dens. Does anyone know of a spray, paste or something to put under the hood to deter them from going under there. I don't want my new Ms3 getting destroyed.

leash a cat to your front bumper when your not around! JK. Thats a good one I have no idea. I wonder if you plugged in one of those devices you can use to keep mice away ??? But then you would need a outlet near where you park your car of course.

Yep, those chipmunks can be nastly little critters!

My in-laws used to have a Cairn terrier.... one time at their cottage a chipmunk ran under their minivan and climbed up into the wiring. The idiot dog went after the chipmunk and started tearing at the wiring to get at it.... my FIL was *not* happy having to spend the better part of an afternoon on his back under the car splicing wires back together!

I think you can get repellent sprays at garden centres.

Ok I'll try that. I live in the country .. you wouldn't believe the amount we have here. Lost half of the fire shield on my 97 Probe GT.

I use moth balls in my boat to keep the animals away especially mice and chipminks.
