Default Mice in the airplane.

I used to do that, putting up with the stink and all, until I found a
pair of mice making their nest in the airplane anyway. I think they
get used to it within a few years, through several generations of
mice, and it doesn't bother them anymore. I switched to the bar bait
after that, and I doubt they'll get used to it!

But birds hate mothballs. Works to keep them away.
