Hi everyone, The museum where I work is in a rural setting and I was recently informed by our previous Collections Manager that in past winters there has been an issue with mice in some of the exhibit buildings. I'm not sure if there was an Integrated Pest Management program in place at that time, but I have since implemented one. One of the problem spots was the interior of a 1932 Franklin car. It is my understanding that the mice have come up from the floorboards near the gas/brake pedals and have made a nest in the upholstery of the car. I am hoping that our IPM will prevent this from happening and will be having additional traps placed in and around the car. I was even thinking about taking steel wool or some other material to plug up those holes. Any thoughts or suggestions?
