KEEP RODENTS OUT OF YOUR ENGINE!

Auto Tack Mat is a product for vehicle owners seeking a way to deter rodents from occupying their vehicle’s engine, and thereby reduce the risks associated with rodent chewing and rodent contamination.

The Auto Tack Mat kit includes a reinforced aluminum mat embedded with sharp metal tacks, and two-sided adhesive squares to secure the mat in the engine.

The mat can be trimmed to the size and shape needed, and once installed in the engine the Auto Tack Mat provides an “inhospitable surface” that deters rodent occupation of the covered areas.

Rodents can do a lot of damage in an engine, particularly if they chew through electrical wires. Besides the inconvenience of a vehicle that won’t start, the repair cost to replace a wiring harness (a difficult and time-consuming job) can easily exceed $1,000.

And there are potential health risks for the driver and passengers associated with the urine and droppings that rodents leave behind in the engine. Refer to the CDC article available on this site.
