Vermin are the worse. Good luck on all of the repairs and removal of the vermin. Are you going to consider a clough42 electronic leadscrew for your lathe? It only takes something like a 1/4" hole for the mice to get in.
Rodents! Ugh! Mice can get in really small spaces and they chew stuff up in a major way. They can also climb unbelievably well. We live off grid in the Northern Arizona High Desert and they get in everywhere. There is a CO2 powered mouse/rat trap called the A24 that works well and doesn’t put do gs and cats at risk. Good luck with the repairs and recovery.
@@WhatDennisDoes it works without having a spring tray that can get pets etc. And, yeah those little b$&@;?ds get after everything. Good luck getting rid of yours. Cats work cheap if they are anybgood at catching them.
If you want tips and trick there's a channel on youtube that is about Pest control, mostly mice, a good easy one you could build is a bucket mouse trap
I think that's it, the shelter and heat. it's not heated 24/7 but it is warmer than outside. I'm aggressively trapping now and it's working. I think I had sealed a few inside after closing up all the holes. still looking for that nest but i think i know where it is. I'm so allergic to cats unfortunately!
