Default Mouse chewed PCM wires. Need advice.

I found out a mouse got under the hood and chewed off the plastic insulation of my PCM wires. It didn't chew all the way through just the insulation. I was wondering if anyone can take a look at the pics and let me know what I can do to fix this. I was hoping I wouldn't have to cut them and resolder but any adivce would be appreciated. Sorry for the blurry pics. Thanks.

I have some liquid electric tape if you want to try it. I also have a terminal tool to remove the wires so you can heat shrink them. I was just going to answer this on the local board

Ok now I gotta post pics of when I got back from vacation and my dad parked my beater civic off the driveway under some trees... two mice made a nest in my BLOWER MOTOR FAN.. turn on the fan when I go to take it to work and guess what gets thrown all over my vents? Yes. Mouse chunks. Didn't realize it until a few days later when the smell started..

Few weeks after that after I cleaned it out and made it good again I turned on fan and a gnat came out a vent :anger:
