Rodent Tape - Replacement for Honda Rodent Tape OEM 4019-2317 - for Car Wires. 19MM x 20M

We have rodent wire damage to our 98 and 99 Volvo and 2022 Subaru.I use rodent traps, baits around the cars. I have used Repels All, Moth balls, recommended soap, other products.All it takes is one time for damage to be done.This tape is capsaicin infused electrical tape. Fix the damage and wrap around the damaged area a couple times.

I first discovered Honda’s rodent tape years ago after mice completely destroyed the wiring in my pool heater. Every winter the heater casing became a cozy little shelter; summer I’d come back to find the wiring chewed through beyond repair and face a costly repair service from a pool heater specialist to rewire the heater and power board. After the second time I wrapped the wiring with Honda Tape, the problem stopped—no more costly damage.This year I had to replace my pool heater simply because it had reached the end of its lifespan, not because of mice. To be safe, I bought this replacement rodent tape (OEM 4019-2317 Honda Tape equivalent). It looks and feels just like the original Honda tape, only without the big Honda branding across the outside.Yes, it may seem pricey for what looks like “just fancy electrical tape,” but take it from someone who’s had to pay for full heater replacements before—if it keeps mice away, it’s worth every penny. So far, I’m confident this tape will do the job, and I’ll gladly keep using it for peace of mind.

Tape seemed durable and was easy to apply

Didn’t work! And the size should be larger for that cost. Well not worth it!!!

Our RV was finally hit: rats or mice chewed on about 10 strands of wire. Some damage was nasty with wires completely chewed through needing new wire and soldering.I bought a roll of Rodent Tape and I was skeptical: Three of us, me, my wife, and our mechanic, all placed a piece of tape, both the flat and adhesive side, on our respective tongues. We felt nothing. My local Mexican restaurant's salsa was spicier.So I contacted the company. Here's what I learned: The tape is designed in layers with mini-capsules of capsicum chili pepper extract inside the tape that bursts open when chewed on by rodents. There's no spice on the outside of the tape.Application is pretty easy: Tape every piece of wire in the engine compartment. The tape sticks well and there's no need to wear gloves when handling it.I've given the product a provisional 3 rating; I'll update this review after about a month with details on whether this roll of very expensive electrical tape keeps rats and mice at bay.Here are the other products I used to prevent further damage:Electriduct 1/2" Tinned Copper Metal Braid Sleeving Flexible EMI RFI Shielding Wire MeshMost useful when wiring can be inserted into the sleeving. For instance, for wiring that has been completely chewed through and needs repair. End fray when cut, so tape must be used to wrap the sleeve ends.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BIBQ940?tag=76722611-20&th=1Electriduct Steel Spring Guard Flexible Pipe Hose Protector. 3/8" or 1/4" -- wider sizes availableEstimate the length needed and add an additional 1/2". Work the spring onto the wire as you would a split ring on a key chain. Start at the very top of the wiring. Use caution not to pierce wiring; bend the leading wire tip up and away from the wiring. Tape spring ends to prevent spring end.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BJC5JPF?tag=76722611-20Wire Mesh for Mice Control 5 in X 36FtCut mesh sleeving so it's flat. Wrap tightly around wiring.

Seems to work on my mini-X

So far so good - no issues yet after having the dealership tape everything.

Expensive but it works well in areas where rodents might chew on wires
