Re: mice

[Robert <r.lane@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Haven't had any mice trouble with our cars but the guy in Greensboro, N.C. 
that we bought our 63 from, had one or two of those electronic jobbies in 
his garage to keep mice away from his collection. When we were there, he had 
14 cars including 3 non-Mopars. He had one mouse climb into the folded, 
white soft top of his Buick GS455 where it must have got stuck, and died. 
Made a right mess by all accounts.
At least the mouse had the manners not to choose one of his Mopars!

And as for getting through tight spaces, I've heard that pest controllers 
use a ball-point pen to check for holes that mice can get through. They say 
the mice can collapse their skeleton enough to fit through a pen-sized hole!

And there was me thinking all mouse holes were semi-circular and in skirting 
boards........
