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
 news. What is troubling is the growing
 volume of online stories about
 rodents chewing up expensive wiring
 looms that keep Audis, Hondas,
 Toyotas and Volvos running
