Looked pretty precarious.

Anyone know of a better way other than a rat snake or a cat? - Mike


See if you can find some of this stuff:

Hardware stores or farm supply stores will have it. It looks tasty, so
keep it away from kids or pets. It kills mice dead with one feeding. I
keep two or three chunks around the airplane, near the wheels, and
have absolutely no trouble with mice. They eat some, don't feel too
good, and go away somewhere to die. I never find dead mice.

Mice don't like the smell of mothballs! Throw some of those into remote
areas of the plane, where the little critters might enter.
