So That's Where my Hazelnuts Went!

Winter's here in the Northwest. Mice come up the vents into our homes. Fun.I noticed a small hole in the bag of hazelnuts I eat when watching TV. Tossed the bag.
I've been hearing a mouse in the walls near my computer work station for a few days.Last night I turned off all the house lights to go to bed, and immediately heard it again.
Logic says the little bastard was probably in my work area, chewing on cables.As I got closer, you guessed it. He'd crawled into the back port of my KEF 150's.
I covered the port, took it to the garage, and caught the fat little guy in a live trap the next morning.Opened the speaker, OMG maybe 60 nuts, and some cat food. Not the first time this has happened.

What the heck is wrong with your cat? Not doing it's job! Doesn't like the sound of the KEFs?

Another reason to avoid ports.

I lived in an old gatehouse built in 1888. No insulation in the walls. Chirp, chirp, getting fainter chirp right at ear level behind the sofa. Wife a real soft touch, me too I must admit.

Cut a hole, pulled out a baby bird. Up into the eaves, there’s a nest with other babies. Ok, put the baby in the nest.

Next day, a weak chirp chirp, in the next stud space, so I had to cut a second hole. Moved the nest away from the wall upstairs, put the scrawny looking thing back in.

3rd time, a different wall, nearer where I had moved the nest. I figured out, he was the weakling, mom knew he wasn’t gonna make it, and kept putting it out of the nest. I let it fade away.

Here, I get mice over the years, have 3 traps with notches for success, # 1 the true winner. I keep my birdseed in containers they can’t get in now.

Traded Bill for two Mitsubishi Vertical TT. I successfully built one. The other, mice ate a lot of the wires inside, it’s good for parts only.

My son had a rabbit loose in his room at college. Bunny didn’t like the music, he chewed thru the speaker wires.
