It may be worth solidly wadding a long plug of glasswool/rockwool before and after, or just in place of the foam. Rodents are agents of Murphy, and don't take hints. In Denmark in the early 50s (postwar reconstruction) it was hard to buy good cement. My parents mixed broken glass into the concrete to stop the rats digging through it into the indoor pigpens on the farm. > I also recently acquired a CNC turning center and have not begun to > think about if/how mice might attack that. Rather than have to eternally fuss with keyboard covers and grilles on all enclosure openings, I'd be putting out various brands of rodenticide in rotation (to defeat the smart ones), and maybe install a warbling ultrasonic siren, turned on at night to flood the workshop with lots of dB of pain to rodents. A sensor switch on all entry doors should automatically silence the siren, as high levels of ultrasound can damage human hearing, even though it is not heard. (There may be commercial units, only loud enough to be annoying, and therefore safer. Heck, they might even be OH&S compliant if you also put enough signs up.) Is there any chance of eliminating any and all potential food sources in the vicinity? Yeah, we have rats around the intermittently occupied house on the farm, and the pests bring their own food. It sounds like an unattractive and very frustrating type of problem. Erik ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
