Winterizing

I live in the country have my class c greyhawk under shed but am concerned about mice & rats getting inside during the winter. I have sprayed the motor and some of the undercarriage with critter defense,& also all around the generator, need to know if I should get some other form of deterrent? Maybe some traps for inside. I am putting all towels, & paper products into plastic containers with lids. Any info you can give me will be appreciated. How often should I spray & I will crank & run it every couple weeks.Thanks for your help!

Get some stainless steel steel wool from local store, and stuff that into all the breaks/entrances that any hoses/pipes/wires make on the underside of the unit. Open up the cabinet doors under the sinks and you'll see some opening where water pipes/wires, etc., enter the unit. Look for all those and they will find the one(s) you didn't. Can put some bait away from the unit to keep 'em from wandering over to it. Remove all spices, dry food items, etc.,

Thanks I will give that a try. I don’t want to use poison because of pets coming in my yard. I will set some traps inside so maybe that will help. Thank you!

Fresh Cab!
We store our camper in a barn in the country. Before we put it up for the winter, I get a box of Fresh Cab (four packets) and place strategically in the camper. Come spring, we've never found so much as a bug turd.

Poking at a campfire with a stick is one of life's great satisfactions.
