Bite Blocks for the Mouse and all will be quiet... I also find the bite blocks to be the best solution. Even better: don't leave any holes for the critters to get into your cabinet. I've always used bulkhead N feed-throughs for all my cabinet RF I/O, a cabinet-mounted power cord

I used to have about 50 cellular sites that I maintained. One of the biggest rodent control solutions was to throw out all the trash cans at all the sites. That ended the problem of half eaten Big Macs and all other foodstuffs from being left at the site. That made a big dent in the
