Looking for mice proof foam

[rob love]

On my mk1 carrier, it was the foam in the headsets of the radio that the mice loved. When I first saw slight damage, I moved the headset to hand on the grab bar on the engine cover armored plate. The mice had to perform a high wire act to get to it, and they did, fully removing all traces of the foam.

In my workshop (and at work) we use the metal box type traps that have a tunnel and a paddle wheel in them that move the mice into a trap portion. The traps will get multiple mice, and when the trap starts to smell, you know it has several of them rotting in it, and it is time to empty it. I have had up to five in a trap.

The traps work best situated along the walls, and I'll often make some kind of a defile, where the mice will naturally head for the tunnel. They really do seem to keep the populations in check.
