The Museum's off-site facility is located in open desert with few buildings, so mice are a concern. Last fall we had an unusually high infestation. Since we are in the high desert, other insect pests do not seem to be as prevelant as other climates. I would be interested in hearing the responses you receive off-list.

We’re planning to have some fitted to a few internal and external doors, and the pest company we have asked to do the job have suggested brushes for the bottom of the doors. I would prefer rubber, as I’m concerned about insects taking up residence in the brushes, and I don’t know how successful brushes will be in stopping mice. However the company assure me that mice will not go through brushes as they don’t like the feeling. I’m not particularly convinced, so thought I would ask around. Does anyone have any experience in this area?
