Hi Jed, You hopefully try to first eliminate rodent access to the radio room/vault. Step two of the access issue is to eliminate access to any radio/repeater cabinets.
They can be killed and removed using a number of methods, it's just a question of what happens to them at the time they expire (die). Mice can be captured and relocated, but the process is much more involved versus killing them and hopefully being able to remove their remains. The hardware store sells "Bite Blocks", which seem to do the mice in pretty well. D-Con also works but doesn't seem to last or work as long term as Bite Blocks do. I've also tried electric shock, ultra-sonic and humane trap devices... but I keep going back to Bite Blocks as the easy way to deal with unwanted rodents. Many radio vaults don't have the major mice in the walls or roof issue like a home might so they often leave looking for water and or die out in the open where you can remove them fairly easy. In one very remove radio site I service there is no practical way to keep them out of the vault, so I keep a spread of Bite Blocks out on the floor and repeater cabinets and the radio equipiment for the most part remains unmolested. The resultant dead mouse mess is not really a big deal to clean out. Much better than having the mouse get into the equipment. cheers, skipp > Jed Barton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Some of you pros have delt with this i am sure. > A commercial repeater that i do some work on, i went up to the sight > after over a year, and let's just say it was a horrible sight. > The mice brought the repeater to its knees. > Anyone have some advice on getting rid of the little bastards and > keeping them away? > Anyone else delt with this problem? > Mice are evil > Thanks, > Jed
