Now, I like the little animals as much as the next guy, but they cause me a lot of grief. Last week I decided to start up the NH TC33D tractor for the first time in a while and... almost nothing, no starter, no front lights, no glow plugs. After checking everything I decided that some mice must have gotten up inside, so after tearing off the hood, cowling, and instrument panels, I found this huge mouse nest:
They had chewed off 9 wires, most of them 14ga (how do do it with them little teeth?) and damaged a few more:
and they chewed a lot of the foam backing off the circuit board on the instrument panel and just made a huge mess.
Strangely enough, they never bother my old Ford tractors I guess because they are more open, but then for that reason the birds like them:
I don't like putting poison out because my neighbor's cat likes to get in my shed (she's not catching the mice, though) and I'm afraid the mice would just crawl up inside, die, then stink up the tractor. So, my question is has anyone found any of those ultrasonic pest chasers that actually work? Or another idea to keep the mice out? -Will
