Eek...a mouse in the house! - 03/02/2008 21:54
I've been a feeling a little under the weather recently and as a result haven't been out in my car for a few days.
Today, as is normal with my coupe when not driven for a few days, the battery was flat. So I followed my normal routine of popping the bonnet and was just about to go and grab the jump leads when I noticed something unusual under on the bonnet.
Sitting in a neat little pile on the engine was a small mound of acorn shells...and if that wasn't bad enough where was mouse shit everywhere! The little blighters had been having a nut party and on closer inspection I found 3 other areas where nuts had been stored and then gorged.
Well I can tell you I was quickly out with my Henry and vacuumed up all the offending crap and nut litter. I fired up the battery again and went out for a spin to take my mind of things, but while I was out I starting wandering...might mister and misses mousey been nibbling through anything else other than the nuts?
Do mice eat wire and hoses and stuff?
Should I be worried about mice damage?
Anyone else had this happen?
