Rodents in Boats
No doubt this has been discussed before, but let's see if we can get a
little more boat action going in here and see what may be new on this topic. 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/ |
