Tips on keeping mud daubers at bay!

Getting a bunch of mud daubers wanting to make my RV their home. Any tips on keeping them out of my rig?

  • I installed commercial mud dauber screens on my water heater, fridge, and furnace vents, and no longer have any problems with them.
  • I would not be too concerned with items you use daily. Other items (including furnace if warm where you are) I would use cheap nylon screen over any access areas. $10 worth of screen should protect most of the unused areas.
  • Get the screens for the WH & furnace vents as well as the fridge door. They're not as apt to nest in the gen compartment.
  • I'm hosting at a Natl.Forest, and am seeing the darn things hovering around my rig. I use my water heater daily, cook stove, maybe a couple of times a week. Just don't want to have them building nests in the genset area, or in other areas that they can get to, and possibly plug.
  • Are the appliances in use, or is this an issue when coach stored?
