That soy thing is not exactly accurate, it was a very few years that it was used in, furthermore, how many Model Fords were eaten when they produced the body from soy?
It is the leakage current in the security systems that they are attracted to. I forget why but it the same reason they will chew on house wiring when food gets lean.
The warmth from a cooling vehicle is also attractive which is why pest eliminators will tell you the first thing you need to do is remove the foliage they hide in and use as protection when crossing areas. Since they will flee that way when you start your vehicle and hide until that nice warm blanket comes back.
Personally I have mixed results with sonic deterrents, seems to work for mice, rats are more difficult once they arrive. Either an electric trap or the old snap traps baited with something like dried fruit that they cannot lick off and their teeth stick to.
Am curious about the peppermint thing, if it works I am mopping my shop floor with mystery oil!
