Squirrels eating engine wires and hoses [View all]

Help!

My wife's Nissan Rogue has been recently attacked by a squirrel (we think) building a nest in the engine compartment. So far we are out $2200.00 and more to come today after the second round last night.

I sprayed an animal repellant called Bobbex-R on the engine last night, but this morning there was another batch of leaves on top of the engine, wires chewed, check engine light on and hose to windshield washer reservoir detached.

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated as I can't do $2K per day in repairs.
