[Farmall] RE: [AT] Starter motor: troubleshooting?

[Richard Pope]

We have a terrible mice problem - they got in our Toyota Tacoma engine 
compartment and ate the spark plug wires, completely severing some other 
wires.  They also got in our tent trailer and pooped/urinated all over the 
inside so bad that we had to gut the whole trailer - now it's a Utility 
Trailer.  What kind of rat poison do you use and what kind of container - we 
have three dogs.
