---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi y'all, I had a job a couple of weeks ago replacing bridle tapes in a 15 year old Kawai upright. The old ones had been used as nest material by a family of mice. About half of them were completely gone, and others partially gnawed. I went back yesterday to tune the piano. The people had said that they'd found the mice and removed them, but guess who'd come back, munching once again on the tapes... Nice, nice lady... but hygiene is not her forte, I fear. Her bird's food is also the nourishment for aforementioned rodents. She loves animals and doesn't want to poison the mice. I suggested a "humane" exterminator. Has anyone ever used any kind of screening inside an upright to to keep mice out? I suspect that no matter what the people do--unless they do a drastic cleanup, which seems kind of unlikely--the mice will continue to come back. Next time, I'll wear a mask! After hearing about Hantavirus on this list, I'm a little worried about this sort of thing. Dave Stahl ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
