Something Has Been Eating My Car

Probably a rat. I was installing 4" abs drainage pipe and rat ate its way midway in the pipe (100') and made a nest. When I rolled out the pipe the little pecker head came out and he went to meet Jesus by way of one smack of a flat shovel. He even did one last jerk before he kicked the bucket. Then I spent an hour flushing his nest out of the pipe and resectioning it.

Never seen a rat here but we have field mice, I am thinking a squirrel. There is a hole there normally but I think it was made bigger by the critter.

If you have field mice, you have rats.

Just a mouse that was irradiated like Bruce Banner. If you see a green rat stay away. The little bastard will flip your car over just to make a point.
