General MemberHow are the mice getting in? Maybe we should change the combination.

General MemberI don’t know. When I went to put the traps in, someone had used a nut and bolt in addition to the lock. That didn’t seem to help.
There’s probably a floor drain somewhere. I don’t know what would have changed.

General MemberWas everything taken out of the container? If not, you could simply have a family (growing) of mice nesting in their…..

General MemberI think they’d need access to either green stuff or water.
I’m not going to move everything out. Maybe Luke can organize that.
Again, I don’t mind helping from time to time, but I’m not taking on a project that size.May 31, 2023 at 7:37 PM #18264Tim Ward
General MemberNo mice caught for several days now.

I arrived to AJX at 3 pm today for a late afternoon flight and I found glider containers 2, 3, and 4 were wide open with no one around. I closed them all and took another quick look in container 2. There is so much stuff on the ground left by pilots which some of was or is being used for nesting. I also saw nut shells which means that the mice could have had food. I don’t think this should be Tim’s job to clean up.
I would seriously consider going through and cleaning off the mouse shit and pee on your equipment if you have it in container 2.
Btw, I loved the stenciled signs on the containers. Thanks to whoever did that.June 5, 2023 at 1:37 PM #18292Tim Ward
General MemberThat was Dusty Rhodes. A clever visual reminder. But it seems to have fallen on, to mix metaphors, deaf ears.

General MemberI would highly recommend that container 2 be completely emptied and power washed with something like Simple Green. If any holes are discovered, they need to be plugged up. I would be very surprised if there aren’t damaged gliders in there. The smell alone would keep me from storing anything in there. It can’t be healthy.
