I believe the one I found is 30mA, so not much. I have a 15w solar charger hooked up to keep the batteries charged up and cover the cvampier drain of CO detective, the ultrasonic repalanet, etc...

The best is a 5 gal bucket with anti freeze in it and a spinning peanut butter bait on a can suspended on a wire ....

Didn't someone post a picture here last week of the mice using their dryer sheets for nesting material?

I took a two-prong approach... I placed snap traps all around and put in the ultrasonic and scent deterrents. I wanted to catch all the ones that made it into the trailer and repel any additional from coming in. The bucket trap does work well, I didn't want to deal with the liquid and drowned mice, so I stuck with trapping.

My next step is to crawl underneath and seal up any openings I can find and the same from the inside...

I stored a camper in a friends quonset years ago and knowing he had mice around, I put the dryer sheets everywhere around and in the camper. They did not work. Not even close. We had totally cleaned the camper out, including the bedding, thankfully. I never stored there again.

Only somewhat related ... very recently my TV wouldn't start. Turns out my local squirrels had chewed several harnesses.

Emptied a snap trap yesterday. That makes 12 or so in the past couple of weeks. I wish I could seal it up but the covered bottom and 3 slides makes it impossible to find every tiny little hole. I just leave the under sink cabinets open and the traps right in front of them. Seem logical they are using the plumbing holes to gain entry into the camper.

I am lucky my TT is inside year round so I toss a two pound brick of cheese about ten feet from the TT and throw some Kaput mouse kill blocks around the TT and never one mouse problem. They don't eat much cheese but love the kill blocks.

We had problems at our camp and we do not have power. Bobcat pee on hanging tags under FW kept them away. Before using every morning outside on deck turds everywhere, after spraying did see another. We tried everything else and all it did was put every kind of Oder in the FW. Have a dog and did not want to take a chance with poison. Took him a few days to figure out no bobcats were hanging around LOL
