Winter appeal to drivers. Check under the hood before you go

Winter is a difficult time for animals. Many seek a warm shelter and often choose the engine bay.

The animal shelter in Łowicz points to a problem. “Tuesday, like any other, 9 am, commute to work. Such a surprise under the hood. In time, two babies were noticed, attracted by the heat of the engine. Lesson for the future: be vigilant and make sure that guests do not warm themselves at the engine. A longer journey could have ended tragically,” we read on the shelter’s Facebook profile.

In this case, only the vigilance of the driver saved the two kittens from tragedy.

It is worth bearing in mind that various rodents also treat the engine compartment as their lair. It will be difficult for them to bite through metal elements, but plastic or rubber - by all means.

Most often, rats and martens fall under the cap. Both of them leave organic traces behind, which are an excellent basis for the growth of bacteria and fungi. This leads to another danger, because if they get into the ventilation system, we will inhale them while driving.

Dog hair is an effective and cheap way to control rodents. It is enough to hang a handful of hair in breathable material under the hood to effectively scare off intruders.
