Rodent?

The last two mornings, this pile of foam insulation has been found under the rear passenger side of my Jeep JK Wrangler. I also found a nest with some of this and leaf litter under the driver’s side window cowl yesterday afternoon. I checked underside, there is no obvious foam insulation anywhere under the rear passenger door (just metal components). I checked inside under all the seats, they are intact. I assume a rat is doing the damage, but can’t determine where this is coming from so I can deter further damage.

 

Time to place a few of these traps strategically in the garage and/or in the Jeep before they start chewing those tasty wires within the Jeep. Any mouse droppings around the foam pile?

 

Plan to put down some tasty rat poison tonight and a camera.

 

You better use a trap if they eat the poison and go somewhere you can’t get them but you’ll find them pretty easy and that’s not good just my two cents

 

My '15 JKU has sprayed foam in the rear quarter panels, which I found when I removed the tail lamps to route some wires. I wonder if that might be the source of your white material?

When I left the Jeep parked outdoors for a week or two last summer, mice developed a taste for the foam insulation under the engine cover. No wire damage, though.
