My wife Susie came up with this Eucalyptus oil
She used a "Q" tip rubbing it on the wires and Cotton balls with the Eucalyptus oil under the counters.
Also acorns from the Eucalyptus trees in the park.
Yes I know we all don't live near Eucalyptus trees.
You can buy Eucalyptus oil at the health food stores.
Thank You

All is well with my Lord

Howard,

My Parents had a house in Vista, CA that had a bunch of Eucalyptus trees on it.

I have an idea: why not adapt one of our existing devices to deal with this problem. I propose we call this new device...the micerator! I bet Kanomata could sell a thousand of 'em!
