mice in 5th wheel!

Right now I have electronic repellers plugged in inside the fifth wheel.

I keep a small live wire trap on rv. Put it out at nite. I don't like decon as they crawl some in the rv and die.

I NEVER use bait (Decon or peanut butter are attractants) to kill mice. Peanut butter will just attract more mice as it can be smelled by mice from a great distance. Make sure your unit has all the holes sealed. I then put moth balls at the feet of the jacks, tires or anything that touches the ground. There is little smell to you. But any pest will avoid going near the moth balls. It has worked for me for the last 3-4 years after having an enormous problem.

thanks for the post.. I had forgotten about mothballs outside..

r u plugged in fulltime? if so do you do anything on the cord?

I really like peanut butter on a mouse trap

I prefer my peanut butter on a sandwich.:B

We are having problems also. I opened the door to throw away garbage and a mouse ran out the garbage can, we have used snap traps, and now just poison. Frustrating

We also been having problems off and on. Last one I opened the door to throw away garbage and a mouse ran out of the garbage can. We have put down snap traps and now poison. We do have two dogs, but the mice still come.

Bad thing about the poison bait, is if they die out of sight, your going to be smelling it for a couple weeks. traps or repellant is the best way to go

Ditto on the Fresh Cab. First and only thing that kept mice out of our RV. Tractor Supply carries it plus Amazon.

Try "One Bite" or "Ramik" baits. I usually buy a package of each and place in and around where I want. Supposedly the mice will leave the area after eating looking for water, so they won't stay in the camper.
