Rats

Why do rats like to eat electrical wiring. I have a problem of rats eating the wiring and insulation under the hood of my car. How do I solve this problem?
not only that... they bite many more things.. problem with rats is that they have incisors that grow continuously.. and to smoothen them up they bite bite bite..
rat poison might help..
thats they only thing except iron tha they wont bite..
Rat poison was the first thought, but I'm restricted by the places I can place bait (Decon) due to pets, children, etc. I can place bait trays in my shop because no one except me uses it and I control access. The car is a different matter. The innards under the hood doesn't lend itself well as a location for poison bait trays. I can't put the tray under the car because the pets will get to it. Any other suggestions?
I have problems with rats too. They costed me a water heater they loved to enter by the exhaust pipe. I have a constant stock of poison and periodically apply in key positions.
