And in vehicles too, let it be squirrels or rats or raccoons or any other rodent . . . why do they like the insulation so much?

We coexisted peacefully... until the little bastids chewed through the turbo vane position sensor wiring on my truck.  >:(

Now vehicles don't get parked outside for more than an hour, and I trap and "dispose" of the little wankers whenever they show up near the house.

It's been too long since I trolled this section of the interwebs. Had me rolling the moment I first started reading this thread. Which reminded me:

Many think they are God's cute little furry creatures.

Few know they are the work of  SATAN!
