Rats chewing wires

Rats chewing wires
Hi everyone,
i recently moved to the city and have begun to have problems with rats chewing on the wires under the hood of my 2012 Ford Focus.
I park outside next to 3 other cars from other manufacturers who have never had problems with rats doing this but it has happened twice in the past few months to me.
Is there something different about the wiring used in the 2012 Focus to make them more tasty to rats or am I just lucky? Can I spray something on them to keep the rats away?
thanks to all who respond!

Did you actually see the rats? I asked this because it is pretty common for mice to knaw away on wiring to make nests. Sometimes they like to get into a warm place .Could this have been done earlier and is just now being found/noticed?

The second time it was mice now that I think a bit harder about it; the droppings were very small but there was no sign of a nest either.
Either way, I've got some creatures that I need to keep out from under the hood.

The mothballs came in little packets so I just made some holes. In my Escape I placed the packets in the engine compartments on top of the wheel wells.
