Rodent in storage bins?

I hope you get that squirrel out of there quick. One got into my Genset Bin and chewed my wiring harness cost me over $1,000.00 to rewire and the Genset had to be lowered to the ground out of the bin to rewire on the backside of the Genset. I don't believe in using food to lure rodents into my coach. Did that one time never again! I use a electronic device, 2 of them one inside my coach behind the engine compartment and the other inside my coach in the rear of the coach. Then, I went to Lowe's and bought Double 00 Steel Wool lots of it and filled every nook and cranny in my RV and every entry way that I could find under my coach! I also use the steel wool in and around my Genset. After doing this I haven't had a rodent in my coach in about 6 years. Good Luck in whatever way you decide to go!

Thanks J-Rooster: We don't still don't know if he is under there or not. We moved yesterday about 400 miles down the road so I'll be checking again over the next couple days. There is a large area that I can't access underneath where it can hide. What electronic device are you using, I might want to get a couple?

I was thinking "That should be a product!" Apparently it sort-of already is:

RatVac

Who knew.

As a last resort, dynomite!

Now that's creative!

I did this once when mouse was under dishwasher in house, very effective if cornered.

I could hardly believe what came out with him/her, but if there was any one else in there we missed they are encased in a can of foam.

After you empty out all the compartments, throw some of that junk away...:W

Trial and error. Start cheap and build to expensive, you might get lucky. Mousetrap and peanut butter, Rat trap with peanut butter, .410 shotgun...:B..Dennis

Our rat (thought it was a mouse) easily got out of mouse trap and mouse glue trap. With greater difficulty he got out of a rat glue trap. He was to smart to touch the rat trap - told the GCs he could clearly read the Rat Trap label. The electronic device didn't work. A small live trap finally got him.

This took almost 2 weeks.
