Rodents love my O2 sensors :-(
Something small and furry has eaten a few O2 sensors on my car, and all attempts to murder the little jackholes has proven fruitless, so now I'm looking for a way to deny him/her/them access. I'm thinking some kind of "metal tape" wound around the delicious parts is a good bet. I think I saw something like that in the plumbing section or the like. Anyone know what this magical "tape" is called and where I might find some?

In my house I have found the sticky traps to be the most effective. My cruel side takes explicit satisfaction when I find one stuck to the glue, struggling to extricate itself from it. I then take the trap to the woods outside and let the owls have dinner.
In my old C230 I put two in the engine compartment when I found a nice nest of insulation material up by the brake master cylinder. The sticky traps did their job and the next day I found three of them stuck.
They are available at Lowe's and Home Depot.

AHA! Now I found a real solution.... just need to get the blueprints! 
Or... I bet I could get a Kickstarter for this and make a pile of money!
