My pal George is a rust farmer here in So Calif. He has no end of troubles with Cottontail rabbits, chewing any and all wires in his collection of old vehicles. Recently they chewed the ignition wires on his wife's Mercedes, cost him big bucks. He has a constant war with the toothy little critters, one thing good about this is, he makes a wonderful stew out of them. (The ones his Rottweiler Abby doesn't get first!)
