Look for mouse damage

sorry double post.

Ah, warm fuzzy memories of wildlife and moving machinery.I have a very small long haired chihuahua dog that has killed way over 100+ big f..kin rats. Some about his size- they are vicious bastards and put up a huge fight when cornered ( I have scars to prove it). The dog however is just a flash of furr and dead rat. He snaps their neck as he hits em. He has never tried to play with em or eat em- just kills em. A lot better than some that eat em, then throw up.

 

Even had some dead and still standing- look of shock on face, eyes still open!

 

Get a good small dog for the hangar, let him spend time in the plane and he will protect his patch to the death.

 

I also don't like the idea of rat baits- they might nibble some and then back to your wing for a sleep and die in there, then body fluids can damage airframe.

 

My vote goes to a Hunter-Killer Canine, much less damage than a shot gun and heaps more accurate.

 

Found a six foot python in girlfriends undies drawer, all curled up and snoozing. Not what you expect when reaching for sexy lingerie.

You will have to train the dog to protect that patch also but it might be a bit of a tight fit for both the dog and the snake in the same underies .............!

Why were you reaching for the sexy lingerie? Who was gonna wear the lingerie? The mind boggles

Strange things do happen.

 

The dog 'Monty' will happily sit next to the snake- he has now been adopted to get vermin that hide in the roof- Monty is no good in roof cavities.

 

Why not reach for sexy lingerie- that is the question.

I've mentioned it before in this forum, if a big hairy huntsman spider starts running around in my car I just keep driving and ignore the bugger because one day it could happen in the plane. One cannot jam on brakes and dive out the door when flying. I would however, rather a mouse run across the dash than the spider!

I second that...im spraying the cockpit now

I've heard of trouser snakes before but not that big. Nev

How is it that a story on mouse sh$t and falling snakes can go unmolested by moderators for five months, with no one calling on it to be closed, and no new websites called mousesh$tenthusiasts.com being set up?

If one of our pilots parachuted out of an aircraft to get away from a snake, mouse or a spider this would become a reportable incident.

 

If that incident was picked up on this forum it would probably run for five years not five months.

I remember my CFI doing a preflight on his Chieftain prior to returning from Cantberra after a day trip.

 

There was a birds nest in one of the engine cowlings.

The guys at Tooradin were frustrated one day when they had to take some freight over to King Island in a 172 and found that a backbird had wormed its way into the rudder cavity.

 

After prodding, yelling and banging for twenty minutes or so with no result, the blackbird made the trip into Bass Strait.
