I did NOT use a mechanic. Twice the rat has chewed the spark plug wiring which sits on top of engine, easy for me to reach. The cost of the little plastic connector pigtails is a ripoff!! I'm out $50 (per connector) plus my time. I also use pure peppermint oil, not cheap, and spray the engine area and hood insulation. I would love it if car makers use a wiring that rats don't like.
