Thanks David.

I'm also hoping the smell of WD40 will deter them. Applied to
"crevice" areas behind dash to help ensure moisture is gone from
recent disinfecting wash. Just occurred to me that judicious use of
heat gun might help too.

I may also spray down area with Fluid Film. I've grown accustomed to
the smell.    < grin >

Neil.
