What to do about martens in the car/engine compartment?
Hello 🙂
Unfortunately, I don't have the possibility to park my car (BMW 1 Series) in the garage, so it is parked on the street in front of the house.
I've had marten damage for the second time in five weeks. Each time, these creatures chew through my radiator hoses, which is very annoying because it results in high costs.
Have you perhaps had any experience with these little creatures and somehow gotten rid of them? Do you have any methods or a marten repellent system that has proven reliable for you? Please let me know.
Thank you in advance for any answers! 🙂

Schrot helps. However, the holes in the cooler and in the hood are not beautiful.
The damage is a case for the subcass.
There’s a marten scare in the engine room. So a device that emits high-frequency sounds. Is he helping? I don’t know. But, fortunately, I haven’t had a marten in the car yet. So maybe it actually does.
“(…) which is very annoying because high costs arise.”
What are the insurance companies for? Actually, this should not cost you anything – except perhaps the agreed self-sharing.
There are anti-trust devices with contact plates installed in the engine compartment. These give a high-voltage pulse similar to a grazing fence. I’ve built something like that ever since.
All other methods that are always recommended, from dog hair to ultrasound, have brought nothing.
I built this device myself:

When setting the sensor, please do exactly according to instructions, then it also works…
I had more experience with the Marder. With some customers the animal was in multiple times and has damaged components.
To understand. Marder shredded hoses and cables to re-mark their territory. The animals do that when they smell a strange marten. There was another animal in the engine room.
The first step after the repair is a motor wash. So you shouldn’t do that yourself. Talk to a vehicle engineer and ask for engine room cleaning. It is best to clean with dry ice cream. This does not bring water into the plug contacts.
After cleaning, a professional anti-trust device should be installed. Best one with ultrasound and shock plates.

get a couple of roof slats, some rabbit wire, build a frame, span rabbit wire, put under the car, finished. The biesters don’t like to walk around.
But they get used to it
No, they don’t do that they’re trying, and that’s it. Animals are instinctive.
The marten is a little bit more refreshed than a fish in terms of running, so poor comparison
No, I don’t think that would be as if you wanted to teach a fish to run. Then you did something wrong with the construction.
Then you have genetically engineered martens, you don’t want to put my acquired knowledge and experience in 42 years of hunting and falling hunting in Fage?
That’s it. Otherwise, Marder learn to walk over the grid. Whether you believe or not
Doesn’t work. I have already gained experience with this. The martens really get used to it.
You write in riddles. You want to put the rabbit wire under power, or how do I understand?
Yes exactly
Excuse me?
Only when it is electric
As far as I know, there is a marten protection that can be incorporated 🙂

The only thing that helps is a high-voltage noise.
Electricity strike system with as many contact points as possible.
Really effective is only the garage and possibly still a hose jacket with corrugated pipe

A home remedy would be: hang a worn sock, best a well sweated sports socks into the engine room that you then exchange at regular intervals. The ‘human smell’ is supposed to scare off Marder.
We’ve captured the responsible försterin. Others think the hunter is in charge. The municipal administration knows more.
It only helps temporary. Reveals are often settled by a new march. In addition, you like to go somewhere else with cars, and there may also be Marder (this is the problem at all, if it were just the “own” march, nothing would happen).
From my own experience, I cannot confirm that.
Scare and expel marchers
