I can’t remember all the times that mice have damaged some of my property. Those things are destructive!
It’s not as if I’m overrun with the creatures, in fact, I rarely see evidence of them. I keep the house clean, have poison and traps set out and rarely have a problem. But every now and then one of those annoying creatures makes itself known. Today, it was in my truck.
Started it up, turned on the AC and the blower motor sounded like my case tumbler. Now the truck is over 15 years old, so my first thought was the blower motor is worn out – OK, no big deal.
Got back home and pulled the blower out. It was packed with acorns, insulation, and sound proofing. Arrggggggh !
I cleaned it out and it runs a little better now, but I think the bushings are shot. Likely due to it being unbalanced with all of that crud inside the squirrel cage. I guess it finally got so out of balance that it made some noise. If I catch that mouse there will be a public execution.
