I received an e-mail this morning from someone asking how to deter rodents from nesting in their boat over the winter. The winter of 2006/2007 was a particularly bad year in our region and yet last winter, we didn't have a single occurrence in any of the 200+ boats we store. There are common remedies like dryer sheets and moth balls, but I have seen infestations with both of these used. Plus, the smell never goes away for either (not to mention the health effect the moth balls can have on humans). Last year I went with rodent baits hoping that if they were going to get in, they'd at least be killed before the upholstery was trashed and carpet urine soaked. Of course, having one of the little buggers die inside an inaccessible panel wouldn't be pleasant either. Thoughts? Ideas? -- Regards, * * * Dave Brown * * * Brown's Marina Ltd * * *http://brownsmarina.com/ How does the rodents get inside the boat? *If the boat is kept high above ground on a trailer, rodents should have a hard time getting inside, right? *Even I have a problem climbing on board of my boat from the step of the trailer. *I am not saying that this won't happen; I am asking this because I have a boat on a trailer and I don't want any rodents to live inside and damage my boat. Any idea? Jay Chan- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Good to see you Jay! glad you stopped by. |
