Getting the Wheeling Fever
Back in Indiana we always ecouraged the black snakes to hang out in the corn crib to keep the rodents down <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />......... If you need some rodent control stuff I can hook you up free of charge. If you want to use bait blocks or traps(of any sort). I can send you some of our disontiniued electronic pest chasers although they require 110v source. If you prefer the humane way I can send a mouse/chipmunk size live animal trap. Let me know, free obsolete or slighlty damaged stuff to another Raider owner <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Body Damage is Cool
I had/have the same problem. Keep the vents on recirculation when parked which will at least block access from the outside. I used one of those live traps once and never will again. The mouse died of heat, thirst and suffocation because I did not check it every day, or more often. I now use spring traps in my crawl space - easy, and quick. On an old Mazda truck I had to install a wire screen over the air inlet. Use that 1/4 x 1/4 or 1/2 x 1/2 galvanized.

I have found that hitting them dead center with a BFH makes them quit eating your truck AND defecating and urinating and copulating IN your truck, and is quite emotionally satisfying in an artistic sense, sort of like putting ink in your water balloons and dropping them on the sidewalk from altitudes up to 10 stories. I recommend doing this in solitude, as some of the Others might not quite understand, understand???
