Default The smell of a decomposing mouse somewhere forward of the firewall

They certainly must be creative or have strong mouse feet, for I cannot see
how a small field mouse is able to climb up the tires. The little *******s
are probably dropping onto the aircraft by parachute from the ceiling.


Rubber would be no problem. About the only thing they can't climb is
glass, or a similar slick surface. It would be no problem for them to
climb the tire and gear.

I'm no expert on mouse behavior, but my theory with the bait blocks is
that the mice will come to the hangar for the bait and NOT to explore my
aircraft. I believe that they will leave the hangar to look for water
after they consume the bait. The mice will enter the hangar even if you
don't have bait, as the hangar provides shelter.
