How many apricot pits fill up a blower case?

You need to do a better job of caretaking sir....

You need to talk to that boss of yours...

I would love to negotiate an indoor slot in the back room. The building is kinda full right now however.

My dad loved using mothballs on his machinery when it was not in use (He was a farmer) but I hated them. The smell of them makes me have headaches, even after they are removed to use the machinery. No thanks.

After the three days I spent cleaning up this mess I think I could handle the aroma.

This is where I think they gain entry into the cowl. There is one on each side.

Dryer sheets also help keep at least mice from making nests. Stuff and zip tie in strategic locations.

How do you plan on reaching those areas without removing the fenders?

My guess is the fenders would have to come off if you wanted to try to fab something up. One important consideration is this is how the cowl drains water. If the screens got plugged with leaves or other junk water may not be able to get out. It would be possible for water to back up high enough to come in through the fresh air inlet. Cleaning those edge areas from the top side would be next to impossible.

Well you could always put a realistic rubber snake in there.

I have not found any harness damage. This is an old truck and apparently it pre-dates the use of tasty insulation. Thank goodness.

I have heard moth balls may help. Do you think it made a difference? Did you leave them there all the time or remove them when the vehicle was in use?

They definitely work. Got the big “cake” type. This car has not been driven in a few years.
