Anyone know how to prevent chewed wires by rodents?

Hi all,

We found rodents in our garage where we park both cars nightly. Also found chewed ABS/traction control wires and droppings on the engine cover of our sedan. However, our truck is totally clean, could this be because it sits higher off the ground?

We have bait coming but it won’t be here until the end of the week, so I’m wondering if anyone has any tricks for keeping the rodents away at night until then. I heard leaving the hood open overnight deters rodents because of the extra light and airflow, would this work at all in a garage that already has rodents? And would it be worth doing for both cars?

Any tips or short term solutions would be greatly appreciated!
