Dave Pursel Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 You know what's a real bummer. Earlier last week I pulled out the wiring harnesses for the 16 RGBW mini trees only to discover that the mice had chewed about 8 wires. To the point where I actually replaced the wires rather than try to splice. And they were in the trailer where I thought they were pretty safe. Anyone else have this problem? I heard they chew the wires trying to get the moisture out because they think their small branches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I think they chew wires because they're mean, petty rodents. Sounds like you need a stray cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Rabbits chew wires in the display too. You fix the wire, and they will chew it again right next to your patch. And to make sure they screw with you good, they will chew the wire right at the bulb so you have make a bigger repair if you have spare lights around or sacrifice that string to save others!

rainyoregonchristmas Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I made sure to over bait my storage shed. 5 bait stations in an 8x12 shed. Taking no chances... oh and three traps for good measure too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Batzdorf Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 You need a good "mouser". Our cat has caught about 8 mice this year in the basement. She really earns her keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Batzdorf Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 %^&* mice. I battle them in my shed, once in my Gold Wing and constantly in my RV. At least Hoshi (our cat) keeps them at bay in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
