Here is a link to some postings from the past. > [@Can anyone tell what this is under the hood?](https://community.cartalk.com/t/can-anyone-tell-what-this-is-under-the-hood/181955/12): > > I meant a safe-for-human option. I had the problem of mice finding the wire covers on my 2019 Toyota delicious and I was lucky I caught it early. To prevent a repeat on my 2019 Toyota and my 2020 Honda Fit, I put a small Tupperware container with half a dozen mothballs and several “Cheap” dryer sheet under the hood when I park them in my driveway, sort of a Mouse Stinkbomb… (the Garage gets my Ram Truck, my wife’s '85 Toyota, and my Harley…). So the two new cars sit outside. I live in an urban area, not rural and my neighbors also have an issue with mice dining on their wirings… And I also had to put an Index Card on the dash that Says, “Mice…” so I remember to remove the containers before driving away, Sure, it’s a pain, but not having to deal with exposed wires or a dead short is worth the aggravation of dealing with the Tupperware stinkbombs. ![mouse](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/d/5/d5628cda5c83a62fa7d5e415885ad98db0bccab4.gif) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.cartalk.com/t/03-ram-1500-4-7-what-is-this-tube-chewed-by-mice/188722)._
