<VV> mice and corvairs

[shortle]

A low maintenance solution would be a hungry cat. My shop has a "fat cat" that is constantly finding things to murder (mice, birds, chipmunks, rabbits, etc.). I have no problems at the shop with critters.

>My 2 cents on the subject is that mice can get into ANYTHING that isnt airtight!  Don't fool yourself, they can get into every part of your car early or late well maintained or not!  I was interested to hear they have been found in combustion chambers... I was thinking the other night about the fact that they might be able to squeeze in through the open valves.  Now I'm wondering if there were mice in the chambers of the 63' and if so if their remains did any damage now that I've run it.... the car sat in a barn for 27 years and there were mice in every other part of it!
