Busted!

Busted

After three days of frisking our BoxCarr from top to bottom, Roger discovered a critical mass of gnawing and chewing detritus and mouse droppings that identified home base of our little monsters. In the rubber insulation of the wires buried under the hood directly beneath the windshield were several sections worn thin by mice teeth that covered a collection of well-chewed cicada bodies. Fortunately the mice had left the coatings of the wires alone, or we could have had some annoying (and likely expensive) electrical issues to deal with. For now, we’ve cleaned up their messes and disinfected the BoxCarr. We’re already strategizing locations for moustraps over next winter. Likely one of our biggest challenges will be to remember where we’ve placed them, as this time we plan to put one under the hood.
