Sarah, Allan, Thump et all, Thanks for all your input. This little mouse has big ramifications. Sarah I'm fascinated by the sterilization by Steris. However, I doubt that the college will fund the move plus the process. The case still needs to be made. Thump the point about pheremone is logical. It's easily understandable that the mouse would attract other mice. Therefore the area can be cleaned, but additionally needs to be treated for eradication of the secretion. I will report on my conversation with Norman Cantrell. Thanks Allan. This piano is a M&H AA in good condition in a classroom. Tuned two months go and played almost everyday. How the mouse decided on this piece of real estate is a mystery to me. However, the college needs to work with this problem to keep the mice out of other areas. Pianos are one thing, but files, desk drawers, book cases are other cozy places for mouse nests. Keep in Tune. Joel -- Joel A.
