Title: I hate mices to Pieces !!!
Post by: Rodney on April 11, 2006, 06:11:03 AM
hello all.. New members and old.
Hope all is going well for you this fine new year.
been a while since I took a look at the inside of my Clipper and what did I find but Mouse droppings every where :( .
Where are those little bas^&%$%^rd's  getting in from??
I thought I was carefull to plug any holes while doing my upgrades.
anyone else have this problem and if so have you found any places I might have missed?
Please share if you have.
I now have a tin tomcat as a new addition to my Clipper.

A mouse can squeeze through a hole smaller than a dime.  There are all kinds of tricks out there.. some claim they work, others say no.. steel wool in any holes, mothballs, fabric softener sheets... I'm sure Google knows of more.

Thanks for the reply Shayne, there is life in Clipper land after all :o
I guess the tin tomcat I put in the home scared them little rascels away. haven't seen any more droppings. boy can they make a mess tho. I need to take more care in putting things away and off the counters I use plastic boxes and containers for most of my stuff to keep things tidy guess I better get a few more. and go in search of where they are getting in. sure thought I had it sealed up.

Well.. if you continue to have trouble, I have a couple pet snakes you could borrow.  Though mice would be a little small for the python  ;)

They're quiet, and won't scratch up the furniture like a cat  :)

Gee thanks Shayne but I think I'll pass on the snakes.
:shock:
I haven't seen any more dropping since my spring clean up
