Title: kit and balsa protection ?
Post by: Ironbomb on October 24, 2006, 02:11:38 PM

My modeling stuff will be stored for a little while, and I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with mice chewing balsa wood or digging into a kit. I have glue traps and poison set out, but, will that be enough?

Any first hand experience to share? Do I have anything to worry about?

thanks

Greg

As long as your balsa is stored in a box, it shouldnt be a problem. However, I did have the rodents in my shop at one time. They liked to eat on paintbrushes(dope brushes)...Thats the only harm I found out there.

Thanks Richard, everything is boxed. I fell a bit better now. They can have my brushes, none are that high quality. I'll relax then.

Bring all your stuff over to my house.  I will take real good care of it.  Might come back and tad lighter but it won't be the mice.   **)

I believe mothballs repel the little basthads.
