Certainly true for Central Western NSW - I know of at least one
aircraft in a hangar at Temora that was found to contain a nest. No
evidence in my hangar yet, but my neighbours do own an example of
felis domesticus which seems quite adept at disposing of said mus
musculus, and the only food in there consists of a few sheets of
oil-soaked cardboard and some stray heads of a grass known locally as
"hairy panic" - a kind of umbrella grass that blows everywhere and
piles up against fences, hedges and walks though open doorways. There
is plenty of grass seed and grain in the area, so I hope not to
become too badly affected. Otherwise "kitty" will be borrowed!

Rigging is off the agenda. OK - here's something different
then. How about <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_mouse>mus
musculus and their close relatives.
Central SA is having something of a mouse plague at present. From
what I heard on the amateur radio a few nights back, the problem
extends well into the eastern states also.
They really make themselves at home in an environment where they are
not disturbed all that often. That means most gliding
establishments - including the aircraft =-O .
How to best manage all aspects of this little challenge must be
exercising a few people's thoughts right now.
