Thanks to all for suggestions on keeping rodents out of gliders and
glider trailers.
So far, so good. *No signs of "Mickey Mouse" today.
A couple or three weeks ago, I did the following:
1. *I removed all food from the glider and the trailer. *I had a
pretty good supply of crackers and granola bars in there.
2. *I cleaned up all traces of mouse habitation (well, maybe not all)
in the glider and in the trailer with combinations of compressed air,
vacuum cleaner, and wash water. *The trailer is VERY CLEAN now! *And
so is the inside of the glider. *It's the cleanest it's been in years.
3. *I placed some clothes dryer fabric softener sheets in the cockpit
and in the trailer.
And the piece de resistance:
4. *A plastic tub with pure ferret poop placed on the trailer floor
right at the rear of the trailer.
I still have to run a pressure/vacuum check on the pitot/static
system, though.
