So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
I put one of these in the hood of both ice vehicles we had, and they worked very well. Previously, both vehicles had rodent dropping and urine heavily in the engine compartment. They also chewed through the harness of my Tundra. All of this stopped after installing these. Now I have the base station version up against the garage door and one of the in-vehicle versions is sitting on the ground below the R1S, facing up. So I drive over that one when parking on the driveway. I have not wired one inside the R1S yet but so far this setup seems to be working. I have seen more than one rat in our yard over a few months, so I know at least they are present, but have not tried to get into the R1 yet.
I tried a version of those in my outside bar but it didn't work. That was a number of years ago. Maybe they have gotten better.
Yes, the whole "soy-based" myth is just another example of casting shade on everything and anything that appears green/environmental. Rats/mice like to chew on things, plain and simple.
How's it working Count?Just need to install the pretty trim pieces...
nary a breach this winter.
I have two just to be safe. One home version up against the garage in front of the R1. The second is the 12 volt engine mount, but I mounted it on the ground facing up. If you install it in the vehicle I would think you would need at least two. Both mounted around the motors. I guessing that's how they would enter the vehicle since generally it's covered underneath.
