I have the same problem. Some guys around here recommended moth *****...worth a try if you can deal with the smell and find some way to keep them secure in your engine bay

Ok, next time you see one in the engine bay pop a cap in it's ***, and let me know what else you hit. I'll probably get arrested for having a gun and get beatup by a cop for even firing one. Sorry no guns in NY but on a serious note what is a good solution?

I would try parking your car elsewhere if possible. the only thing i could think of would be to put a snap trap with some bait on it near your car to try and keep them from going in your car. of you could always!!!!
