Hello all,
I just came across this article this morning and thought it would be helpful to the group so I just posted in a forum that seemed to match.
The consumer report article (link below) is saying that since automakers are more plant-based biodegradable materials to reduce waste the issues with rodents is increasing.
There is even a class action suit against Honda saying some of their soy based coatings even attract rodents. Their solution was rodent-deterrent tape, essentially an electrical tape treated with super-spicy capsaicin, which Honda describes as “the stuff that puts the fire in a bowl of five-alarm chili.” The tape (part number 4019-2317) is available through dealers for about $36 for a 20-meter roll, about 22 yards. You'll also find it online.https://www.amazon.com/Honda-4019-2317-Rodent-Tape/dp/B00AJTG3N0

There is also a trend on Redit:
Putting in a summary and the links just in case the main article disappears.
