Spread a lot of moth balls (camphor) around the site,
inside the racks, around the perimeter, etc. These do
evaporate after a while so you'll have to add more in
about a year. Totally harmless to most humans once you
get past the smell. We use them in AM broadcast tower
equipment dog houses.
Anyone have some advice on getting rid of the little bastards and
keeping them away?

of cement. They will eat and the cement will petrify on

I got my MASTR-III because it had a fairly large rat problem. The
urine actually corroded through a trace on the SAS board and there are
still areas where the solder mask has been disolved off. It took a
whole bottle of 409 and a couple of hours of scrubing.
to have the deal with.
