Rats in my ride!

HELP!!
I have packrats, I think they are anyway. They are in my vehichles parked outside. Mostly in engine compartments, eating my wires, my rubber hoses, pulling insulation out of everywhere for nests. I've tried traps, humane and otherwise, poisons( I'm desperate). I've even try hosing the underhood and crevices in fender wells and such every other day, I have four cars. And I don't mean a light mist of water, I have been flooding everything!! I even tried one of those ultrasonic noise things under the hood, I found a rat nest built on top of it!

Desperate times call for desperate measures, PLEASE help if you can.

There are rat repellents available as well as rodentcides. Eliminate any food sources such as bird seed, dog food, or garbage that may attract them to the area. If you can locate dens and destroy them, this may be helpful.
