<font size=2 face="sans-serif">John,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Here are 2 options.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1-I've heard that fabric softener sheets
repel rodents. I don't know if it works, because I am a firm believer
in my second suggestion.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2-Go to a local shelter, give them money
(donation) and they will give you semi-feral cats that will keep the rodents
away.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have cats (pets) inside my 200+ year
old farmhouse and cats outside on the farm. I feed them whenever
they come up to the house, but mostly, they dine on mice and such. I
ended up putting cat doors on all my buildings so they can get in, and
I even leave the windows and glove compartment doors open on my vehicles
that I don't use often. I don't have a rodent problem anymore.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">When I first moved in, it was a constant
battle inside and outside my house. But now, I got some great little
friends that earn their keep!</font>

<br><font size=3 face="Segoe UI">In a continuing battle with squirrels,
I spent most of the day rewiring my utility trailer wiring where they had
chewed it into pieces.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Segoe UI">I posted a pic if the battery cable terminals
they destroyed before and after checking the wiring I looked at the terminals
and they had started on them again</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Segoe UI">this is the first set</font>

<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Segoe UI">my only happy spot is that they will die
a slow painful death from lead poisoning.</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Segoe UI">So I've rewired the trailer wiring and
put it in TWO layers of plastic loom ( I know...)</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Segoe UI">for now but am looking for some type of
sheathing to wrap it in that might be a rodent</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Segoe UI">retardant... any suggestions ???</font>
