Rodent Deterrent?

Brad,

Yes, my wife has a ferret, "Wolfgang". But I don't know if she'll
like me for leaving her fert in the trailer that is about 56 miles
from the house.

But, she is in Belgium right now and will be there through early March
(they call it "sabbatical". I call it an extended vacation...)

I wonder what little Wolfgang would think about running up and down
inside the fuselage?

I'll also look into mousebgone.com.


Thanks,

Ray

Ray,

when you clean out Wolfgangs litter box, put a little bit of that
special stuff in a small tray and put it in the trailer.

Years ago when I was rebuilding my ASK-14 wings, I noticed when I
removed the canvas there was a conga line of dead baby mice spread out
along the spar. I had put some ferret stuff in the wing root cuz I
heard mice running around inside. Apparently mom left and the baby
mice went looking for her.

EXCELLENT! Little Wolfgang does leave a pile every day and I'll take
some with me tomorrow morning.

Ferret Poop in the Trailer!

Hope my wife doesn't find out. If she does, she'll probably charge me
for the service...

Thanks for the info. And thanks for the link to mousebgone.com where
they sell the stuff that I can get here every day.

Ray

You are most welcome..............ferrets rule!

This is said to work for those of us with cats as well. But I agree
with the other poster, don't leave any food in the glider.

Learned about this from a handful of Minden pilots...
Buy a "Mole Chaser", which runs on 4 C- or D-cell batteries. Put it
in the cockpit and turn it on. It emits a noise every 20 or 30
seconds, which for some reason isn't liked by rodents.
These things are likely more expensive at your local nursery but on
Amazon for about $15.00 US.
I have gone so far as building the circuit board of a mole chaser
into a project box, incorporating a 5V regulator and an "Anderson
Powerpole" connector. Everything 12V of mine uses or has adapters to
Powerpoles, so any available battery, charger, solar panel or
combination can be hooked to it.
Have also used moth balls, but the smell isn't pleasant to people
either. Have needed to un-stick a mouse trap from my shoe. Haven't
tried cat or weasel deposits!
Yes. Of course I've flown with a mole chaser still running. Only
noticeable when flying slowly, which we know the fix for.

I had a cabin with a bunch of these. Totally useless devices.
