It isn't too bad in Ohio, but in Michigan we had these little creatures that were like squirrels only smaller and had stripes on their back called Chipmunks. If you lived anywhere even inner city and left your car sit more than a week they would assume it was viable domicile and would set up residence. They eat the exact thing squirrels do and store it in any spot they can. Popular spots were the air filter chambers and underneath the intake of 4.6 fords.
Yes sir those little critters loved to store their food inside of the air cleaner housings between the air cleaner body & the air filter. They also liked to tear up the under hood insulation & pack it down on the intake manifold to make a nest on the engine. I used to see that a lot back in the late 70's & early 80's when cars still had carburetors.
