mice...again

[Iraqvet05]

Well for the second time in 3 winters I have evidence of mice in my TT.

I went to the storage unit this morning and found mouse turds in the toilet but no mouse. I left the lid up the last time I was there so he must have jumped into the bowl from the tub and managed to get out eventually (or I have a toilet trained mouse on my hands).

I also found gnawing damage to a cutting board but that seems to be the extent of the damage. I'm off to HD to buy glue traps and anti-freeze to put in the toilet.

I take cotton balls and put peppermint oil on them and put all that on a little bit of tinfoil and spread it all throughout the camper as well as bounce dryer sheets. No sign of mice so far and for my first two years, I lived in the woods where there were lots of critters

I've never had a problem with them at all, but our rig stays occupied a LOT. However, first I've heard of it, but another one of my brother in laws rigs had the mice chew through his Pex tubing. That's the first I've heard of that one.

we but a few bars of Irish Spring soap in the camper when we winterized it no mice as of today

Hi RP53,

I put bay leaves and fleecy sheets in bottom cupboards and on the floor and it works for me.

Hope this helps.

I travel with 3 cats, never had a mouse problem. Guess they don't want death by cat!

Irish spring and bounce dryer sheets. Cut the soap up in 1/4s and put in cubby holes, and the sink and tub. Never no mice.

I buy the biggest box of Snuggle fabric softener sheets I can find (150-200 sheets) and put them everywhere in the RV. Haven't had a mice issue since I started with the Snuggle sheets many years ago. When opening the RV in the spring I just gather up the softener sheets and take them home and use in my dryer.

This is just part of a long story... Our 5th got mice while sitting at the dealer's lot. Lil buggers chewed the Irish Spring we leave out. To be fair we've had the same bars for a couple of years. Maybe it looses its "oomph" over time.

This is my first year with a camper and I was worried about this as well. I haven't even used it yet as I bought it late October and winterized it shortly after. What I did was dryer sheets throughout the camper. In cabinets, under beds.....everywhere. Then I put moth balls around the perimeter of the exterior. I often go in and check on it and no evidence at all.

I had mice a few years back... Found their nest inside my box of dryer sheets!

My mice ate the Irish Spring we laid out after winterizing our unit. Caught them with peanut butter on cheap mouse traps.

We had the same problem this year because we are out by a field. I had left Halls menthol cough drops next to the bed and the little pests ate them and shredded the wrappers. They also left us nice droppings all over the bed. We found two of them dead in out tall garbage can. Ugh!

Anyone who own a camper should be spraying Mouse-Free under it! We use it on our and have not had mice since the first winter. Bought new in August 2012, mice in spring 2013. Sprayed mouse-free in Fall 2013 and never another mouse when our daughters camper parked right next to ours in winter 2013-14 had a mouse in the bumper chewing on the sewer hose. So we know the mice are here...we get them in the house and garage as well! I HATE mice!
