Various posts have provided some information, but I want to ask for advice directly about my situation.
I am finally at a point of being able to store my wings at the 95% complete phase and move on to the tail.
I will be moving these to a garage which is insulated and mostly kept closed, but is near the beach (not at the beach - but 3-4 miles from it). Insides are primed with p60g2. I will remove the plastic from the outside to avoid any corrosion under the plastic. I guess I could put a light coat on the outside as well if people think that is wise.
What I am worried about is mice. The house is not inhabited for portions of the year (winter specifically). I assume others may have the same concerns, so what do people do?
I have seen some 'natural cures' like Mothballs, ultrasonic devices, etc which from what I read are placebo at best.
Is this just not a concern, or should I look at suspending the wings perhaps from the ceiling somehow to reduce the likelihood of rodents making a home inside the wings? I could attempt to cover the lightning holes in the ribs, however I tend to think that paper and other things might attract them more, and steel wool seems like a recipe for corrosion.
What have others done? I am moving them this weekend.
Thanks
