HOW TO KEEP A MOUSE OUT OF YOUR RV !!
First of all you have to try and prevent mice from being able to get inside your RV. This can be a difficult task as they can enter the RV through some very small spots. First of all inspect the underside of your RV for any gaps or holes. Fill these gaps using silicone or expanding foam. A word of caution, if you never used expanding foam before you should try it on something other than your RV first. When it dries it can expand a great deal more than you expect.
Next, open drawers and cabinet doors inside your RV. Look in all of the corners and crevices, especially where plumbing and wiring enter the RV. If you can see any daylight then the mice can get in. Again, fill these areas with silicone or foam.
Mice can enter through vents like the furnace. You can purchase wire mesh type covers that can be installed over these vents. Many RVers suggest you spray some type of insect spray (that contains mint oils) around the tires to discourage mice. The only problem with this is you would need to do it every couple days.
Another way is by using mothballs throughout the RV and in storage compartments, that is if you don't mind the smell of mothballs. Another idea is dryer sheets like bounce.  People swear they work and the smell is much more pleasant. If your RV is being stored close to you , you might want to use conventional mouse traps and check for mice every few days, but sometimes the traps bait can actually attract mice. Of course you will want to remove any food from your RV that can also attract mice
Happy Camping !!!! |
