We might as well hang out that sign on our airplanes for all the mice to see, because they are looking for a warm place to stay for the winter. Now you haven't had an in-flight wakeup call until you have a mouse run across your shoulder at 2,000 feet! believe me, it will get your attention! The following story is TRUE! My neighbor owns a share in a Bonanza. He and another shareholder decided to fly south with their wives to get out of the cold weather for a few days. They leveled at 10,000 feet, in IFR and coupled the autopilot and relaxed. Then there came this horendous SCREAM from the back seat! Both pilots were ready to call MADAY, MADAY! when the mouse ran across the women's shoulders in the back seat, along the window rail onto the pilot's shoulder, down his right side and disappeared. Fortunately, the autopilot was engaged or they probably would have gone inverted! The best way I know how to take care of these non-paying passengers is to place mouse traps around the inside of your hangar. You will have to visit the hangar daily to remove them or you will have a BIG STINK! The other method is to use those packets of mouse killers. This stuff makes them run for water and when they drink it they die. I use this INSIDE the airplane where there is no water. That way when they get inside and eat, they leave to find water. If you think this is not important, you should see the nests they build with the insulation from your wires and fabric from your upholstery! Then they urinate in the plane. That is worse than pouring acid on the aluminum. A final word of caution; Be sure you keep the stuff away from other pets. If a cat devoured a sick mouse, you now have a dead cat as well.
