Older wiring was made with insulation of a petrochemical nature. Not so tasty. More recently -- in a misguided effort to brag about saving the planet -- some manufacturers [particularily Asian ones] have been using insulation that is soy-based. Tasty and nutritous if you're a packrat.
Honda lost a class action suit by owners. Honda now sells Rodent Tape that is just like 3M ''E tape'' [or common electrical tape] except it has a mousie emoji with an X over it every few inches and is laced with capsicum. [Red pepper].
Instead of $3.00 a roll, it's $45.
With my luck, here in Southern AZ, I'd get packrats who'd bite into it and say:
,,Muy sabrosa. i Los hilos de cobre con sabor picante!''
