Vermin ! [RE-wrenches]

[matthew tritt]

Joel,

Holy Hanta Virus! No "blood or guts" eh? I wonder about that wonderful
scorched hair smell. What if your favorite kitty krawls in there?!

Has anyone else had mice make nests on top of battery banks? This seems to
be a pretty popular activity with many area rodents. I've also had them
actually get inside the cooling slots in Onan  and other generators and
chew-up output wires from the windings! I had a call recently where one got
in and made a swell nest inside the remote start relay box with wire
insulation stripped from the generator sound pads. They took a leak in their
bitchin little pad which shorted out the remote! I now suggest covering all
possible ingress/egress with hardware cloth (or concertina wire).

Matt
