A mouse ate my rat sock!

I think we figured out how the mice got into my plane, someone forgot to tell them not to eat thru the rat sock!

At least he was kept busy eating the rat sock and not urinating on the spar.

I too had intruders of the mouse variety...just ordered a new set of gear tube boots from eBay a few days ago for around 50 bucks for the pair.

It is not unusual for pests to make nests inside the wing. Check inside the wing looking for droppins, leaves, fruits and dead animals. First sign of a nest is the smell when you open the wing access panels. If unatended it can create corrosion. On way to keep pests away is to spray corrosion inhibitors inside the wing, they don't like the odor.

We found mouse nests in wing root area.  I am wondering if a good hosing out to wash away mouse urine might not be a good idea?

Thanks, Gary
