It turns out that the pesky rodents not only spoil the crop in storage, spreading threat to human selhozgodu disease, spoil things in the farmers ' houses, but the last time they encroach on precious farm machinery! At least it complained to the farmers in Manitoba, Canada.

"Mice and rodents, indeed, seen in cases of vandalism of expensive agricultural machinery. They are easy to get in the car and can cause damage at several hundred dollars, just Chrysa wiring. It seems that they are particularly attracted to the cabin," says ray Bosc, maintenance Manager of agricultural equipment company in Notre Dame Motors, MB. The company is a dealer of Massey Ferguson, and Versatile.

Bosc says that, being in a climate where winter comes early, and mice seek shelter indoors is easier and cheaper to keep rodents away from tractors and other agricultural equipment than to spend money on repairs.

"It seems that if one mouse went somewhere, then she leaves for some other invisible person identifying marks, they say, all right, come on!" he said.

"The damage is not limited to wires and hoses. I've seen literally chewed the mice of the seat cushions and headrests the driver's seat in the cabin," said Bosk.

One of the ways to get rid of the little vandals – processing machine with compressed air before you put in storage.

Another and became popular among farmers line of defense is repellent against rodents that are popular right now to protect agricultural machinery. Try farmers and economy options in the form of mothballs or toss into the cab of orange peel, sprinkle mint or eucalyptus oil, but, alas, the effectiveness of such measures is not proven, unlike synthetic insect repellents.

"In any case, the costs of prevention are to discourage rodents, eager to leather seats and electrical wiring", - concluded the Bosque.
