It makes a lot of sense. Under-hood wiring in US cars is insulated with silicone or PVC stabilized with lead compounds- decidedly unhealthy for the rodents!

 This might seem off-topic, but it might apply
 to vehicles used in the
 field for rock and fossil hunting.

 Every farmer knows that vermin nesting
 in a warm engine bay is yesterday’s

 rodents chewing up expensive wiring

 Toyotas and Volvos running
