Hello all, In the spirit of the fabulous mouse trap article posted last week, I thought I'd reach out to this listserv for some advice. I was just hired and I'm looking for new ideas to address a persisting rodent problem that we've been having in our collection storage. My question is this: What would be the most efficient means of addressing our rodent problem? My instinct is to place capture traps in collections along the rodent superhighways and inspect them daily. In your experience what has been an efficient way to evict your local rodent population that doesn't unnecessarily expose your collection to poison or more pest activity?
Thanks for any advice you can provide! Jade -- *Jade W.
