Little fuckers made a nest in my car, and stashed their nuts up there.
Here is where they stashed their nuts/ made their nest

Here is the liner of my hood, there was already a hole in it, when I bought the car, but the little critters tore it up even more. I don't know where the hole originally came from.

Here is some ripped up foam in my engine bay, along with some acorn shells

Here's and acorn shell, they literally poured out when my mechanic popped the hood earlier today.

Now I guess I have to put some rat poison up there or something...

I bought a Bonneville for my wife about 10 yrs ago that had the same problem, I had to dill a hole to get some of the hickory nuts out. Just hope they're not those little f#*king red squirrels, they love wiring. My neighbor's a mechanic and says the dealership he works at sees a couple squirrel jobs a year.

Haha, good luck with getting them to move out.
This reminds me of my friends new VW. The wire coatings now have soy in them and mice and other rodents like to eat the coating and it really screws with the electronics.

Ordinarily a hooker charges double for a squirrel job.

Damn OP, that sucks man.
My car had roaches when I bought it. They would randomly pop out. Not the best thing to happen when you have chicks in the car. It took me a while to figure it out, they would always come from the dashboard. I wanted to look everywhere else prior to disassembling my dash. I found some fries under the rear seats along with more roaches, I Raided the shit out of them, to the point where you can see them strat to disintergrate. No more roach problem for me now, but it does show how responsible the PO was with my car. Seriously, how do you get fries under the rear seat?
Here's a thought, mouse traps or racoon traps. The box ones if you want to keep them alive, or the snapping ones if you want to teach them who's boss. I prefer the latter.

I found some of my deer corn in my intake box that a chipmunk had brought in there. I've already pelleted one of those little varmints.

Back when I had my toyota camry they built a nest in my engine bay and the little dicks caught on fire when I was driving and all my wireing melted together. Ill try to see if I have any pictures from it.

You can get rid of them by using a sonic frequency machine. They are small, about 4x4x3, and cheap, mine was $10-$15. The phone number on mine is 1-800-343-2659.

I don't know why rodents like stored vehicles so much, I suppose they're not being disturbed. The first year I had my Honda Silverwing I found the air filter packed tight with bird seed that my wife conveniently stored in the same shed.

If I don't I need to think of another way to keep them out, or else they might chew up some wires or doo doo everywhere :stickoutt.

Here's my run-in with some unruly mice a few years back...

It was on my '91 535i. Dam mice also chewed through the back seat liner. I was fortunate they left the wiring alone.
