At the county site where my 440 machine is co-located, they are using a combination of D-Con packs and ultrasonic repellers. I'm actually surprised at how well these are apparently working.
The building was abandoned for a number of years before the county took possession, so the place was basically overrun with mice prior to our occupancy. Other than the smell, we cleaned out the place in a matter of weeks... and have had no returns. Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of Bob M.

Totally harmless to most humans once you get past the smell. We use them in AM broadcast tower equipment "dog houses". After a few months, go around the building and seal any openings you find. Holes as small as 1/2 inch are enough for many mice to get through. Same with 1/4 inch gaps under doors. Don't forget around the cables and through conduits.
