Hello all I’m working as part of a moves project at the moment and we’re having a dramatic increase in mice activity in our collections space recently. We think it’s related to works in another part of the building and we know the storage space next door has a lot of mice too. We’re working on moving out of the building as soon as possible (another 2-3 years) but were wondering in the meantime if anyone has any successful strategies for discouraging mice from getting into collections. We’ve found only one or two nibbled objects but there has been a lot of evidence of nesting, especially on lower shelves.
We thought about bringing a cat in but next door has been using poison on their mice; we’re not super keen on cleaning up dead mice either. Has anyone used one of those ultrasonic repellents? Any suggestions are welcome, Ayesha. -- Dr Ayesha Fuentes Isaac Newton Trust Research Associate in Conservation Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology University of Cambridge -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MuseumPests" group.
