Peppermint oil on cotton balls inside of small pill bottles in basements, under sinks, and in the area under drawers. Drill holes in the pill bottles. Keeps the mice at bay and it also makes the coach smell nice. Plus I have a Black & Decker Ultrasonic Pest Repeller in every room and each basement compartment. And to tell if this is working or not, I have set a couple traps. The traps have not caught anything so far, so it appears that the Peppermint Oil and ultrasonic repellers are working. This is the first year I've tried this method. Time will tell!
I've used peppermint oil for years and it works! IMHO the ultrasonic repeller works best! You don't want to use a attraction bait because that draws them to your coach! Then they eat the bait and search for water and if your water lines are not blown out with air and there is water in any of your lines they will chew thru the water line to get at the water! Been there, done that, a long time ago and don't want to go thru replacing a water line in the floor again. I also removed all the drawers in my coach and filled the cubby holes with very coarse steel wool, anywhere I find a cubby hole it gets filled with #00 (very coarse) steel wool. Good Luck!
