These comments above are the reason that I never bring anything into the house until it's been thoroughly opened up and aired out.

I did have a problem with mice in my shop at one point. Customer brought in a console set right at closing time. It tested dead. I waited until the next day to check it out.

When I opened the door and turned on the lights in the morning, I saw 3 little shadows take off and run under the benches. There was a large nest inside the set, and a small hole under the chassis beside the metal screen.

I quickly rolled the console... it had wheels... out back, and opened it up further.

I got the nest out, but found it was full of babies. and a couple more big mice that ran away.

A little D-Con, and never saw any thing else. Customer refused the repair price, and I held the set for 90 days, and snatched the CRT and chassis for parts. The rest was smashed by a friend's little boy who loved destroying things, and tossed the carnage in the dumpster.

I'm running a set today that is using the CRT from this rat set.
