We have discovered mice that had been living in the insulation under the burners of our stove. The house was a vacation home and vacant for majority of the time. I think they found themselves a woarm home in there. And using the tray under the burners as a potty I think. (not the disposable things..
I do not believe they are living there presently but they are travelling down from the attic into the kitchen for food. We sealed the hole behind the dw and on the outside we believe they came into from. and have set traps in the attic.
I want to replace the oven. I am so disgusted by this whole thing. Hubby wants to replace the insulation and thoroughly clean the range.
The range is 20 years old but seems to be working fine. Since it was a vaca home, it wasn;t used everyday.

We had the same problem with mice in a range in our cabin in the country. Through one of the divisions of the Smithsonian I found the company, J.E.S. Enterprises that sponsors The Old Appliance Club www.theoldapplianceclub.net. They had the perfect solution to our problem. The sell high heat space-age stove insulation. All I needed was a pair of scissors to replace it. The stove runs a lot cooler now too. Here is there e-mail: toac@sbcglobal.net and phone 805-643-3532. Best of luck. It's curable!
