something to check while getting ready for spring

I am doing a service on my Norge, to get ready for the spring. Doing the valves, plugs, fuel filter and air filter. Well, i removed the air filter and low and behold there were a few chewed up acorns at the bottom of the air filter housing. The little buggers must have gotten in there over the winter and made a temporary home there. There was a few pieces of mouse dung also. I live in New Hampshire, so come winter those little furry critters look for a warm place to fornicate. Maybe they were Italian mice. Anyway, definitely something worth checking.
 
Consider yourself lucky they were eating acorns.......some of them have been known to prefer nibbling the insulation off the wiring!
 
I've sucked a critter in to alternator via the air box. Alternator didn't like it one bit and blew up.
 
Re:something to check while getting ready for spri

They are destructive little buggers. I had a problem with them in our house so this winter I bought three traps that can catch up to 4 mice each, kind of like a mouse motel 6, the lights always on. Anyway, I caught about 100 or so mice in about a 2 month period. I brought them to the next state and let them go on a daily basis. Hope none of them have GPS cause they will come back if they do. After 2 months I was catching 1 here and 2 there and then none. Guess I got them out of the house, now I have to take the motel 6 sign down and put up a hilton sign. They can't afford the good hotels, especially in this time of recession. I wouldn't mind the little buggers if they didn't piss and crap where they live, like if they learned to use the toilet or the cat box.
