Mice in Controller

[Vince4xmas]

This weekend started testing props for Christmas show. Moved my large 16 channel tower from shed to test, opened LOR controller enclosure and see that a mouse had decided to take residence over the winter. Insulation was chewed off all my wires. Had to rewire entire controller. Lucky that when rewired, the controller works.

 

Any ideas other than removing the LOR controller box from the prop to keep these mice out?

 

Thanks

Crazy as it sounds:   Bounce Sheets, Buy he big box at Sams Club or Costco... For some reason they hate the odor.

aren't moth balls a little small... .... maybe try cat one instead... they are bigger.... they may work better..

Sarge, the cat ones shed, making a mess. The moth balls may be small but don't shed and work better in large quantities.
