Rodents ate my wiring...

How many other people have had rodents chomp their wiring near the battery section of their car? My 981S is with OPC Hatfield who found rodents have been nesting there, eaten the wiring and probably caused the cruise control to disable and the fuel gauge to become non-functional. Looking on the web reveals stories of people claiming the soya based wiring insulation luring the critters. I'm being quoted ~£900 to fix the damage which is unexpected but I guess I'm glad it didn't lead to worse damage...

Seems the spectrum of potential damage is quite wide! I'm not sure how to make sure this never happens - other than using the car often and keeping an eye out for any telltale signs (but there were none this time). Does anyone have any tips, such as sprays, etc.?
