Peppermint oil. The real stuff. Not the extract.

But of all the things a kitten would dig into, why would it select the video cable? It's not exactly sticking-out waving a "mess-with-me" flag, right? Where on the car / harness did the damage occur? Under the rear bumper cover? Sounds odd to me.... just sayin'

The same question I asked myself but when I saw the wiring harness, although it is behind the passenger side rear light, the coaxial cable is not shielded like other cables in the harness. I saw other wires with mesh shield or something which I believe is harder to bite. I asked the dealer to install that shield/mesh wherever possible.

You don't spray it. You use a dropper. Places of entry in the garage, like door thresholds and floor/wall perimeters.

I've also had good luck with Freshcab. You can get it on Amazon. it has some sort of herbal mix that seems to keep the rodents away. Making a Freshcab/peppermint oil perimeter as we speak.

Wait! You have a dozen cats? A dozen? As in 12?

We can't help you.

Point 1, if you do have a dozen cats and still have a rodent problem, I shudder to think about what kind of badass rodents you might be dealing with.

Point 2, check with your homeowners insurance. They may cover.

I have construction work right now and they are hiding behind some wood wastes ... called a company to rent a dumpster and start cleaning.
