OK, here's a good review article with some helpful links. The second one is a little older but addresses the time frame for the soy wires and info on Sounds like it’s really a broad issue.

I have an 07 Tundra and would park it in knee high or higher grass a few times a year. After the second year of doing this I started noticing what looked like nests beginning to be built. Luckily no wire issues. So I started putting about 8 pieces of this stuff around the truck. I never had a problem after that, going on ten years of using it.
