Electrical wire cover broke off

Hi all, is this an immediate concern, electrical wire in front of block, part of the plastic cover for the wire broke off. For repair perspective, I take it I need to buy some split tubing auto wire cover that I see on Amazon??

Inspect the wires closely for any signs of damage. Repair any damage found and either wrap them up with electrical tape or replace the plastic wire loom. I'd replace the loom if it were me but tape will work just fine too.

In addition:
1) Look for rodent droppings or chewed wiring;
2) Evaluate proper "Anti-Rodent" weaponry;
3) Consult W. P. Barr, AG, concerning weaponry such as Heat Ray or LRAD to drive them out;
4) Consult "F30" who is a mouse's worst nightmare.

Easy George, he's only got 10 posts. He might just think you're serious.

Hey guys, thanks for the insight. I'm going to replace the wire loom. In the meantime, I have setup some snap traps with peanut butter to get those rodents :P

Hope you don't have any wiring damage. I would suggest inspecting carefully before sealing up with tape/loom.

Actually Lemans, I take W. P. Barr, AG, QUITE seriously. I personally think it's a mistake to underestimate the DAMAGE someone can do to society, who takes himself too seriously and has NO respect for people with differing opinions. Hope you don't know anyone like that.
