Chicago is already known as one of the top cities when it comes to rat problems, but now these rodents are spreading their damage to more than humans and food sources.
Cars throughout the Chicagoland area are being damaged by rats attracted to the wires, especially those with soy wiring!
According to WLS-TV ABC Chicago, mechanics say that rats eat the wiring as a food source and then remain under the hood using it as a shelter because of the warmth.
One of the main reasons this happens is that many vehicles are parked outside or in garage facilities that do not stop rats, mice and other types of intruders from coming in.
