dead mice in electrical panel!!!
just tossing in my vote for traps--poison leaves 'em to die in the
wall.... NOT GOOD! I just found two mice face down in my electrical panel, up against the 200-amp service lugs---only dumb luck (If it weren't for dumb luck, I'd have none at all) kept my house from burning down. I guess the electrician punched out an extra hole in the panel box that he forgot to plug. I recommend you check out your panelbox for such holes! Electrical fires aside, it sucks cleaning bile from in between all the breakers! Rick |

The meter was fed from an underground PVC conduit that had broken so they had a private entrance as well. |

Rick Were the mice killed by poisons or did they electrocute themselves, that having poisons about earlier might of kept from happening? How would ya know? Lar |
