I never use baits around my RV! I'm trying to keep rodents away from my coach, I do not want to lure them to my coach. And poisoned rodents seek water so if there is water in any of your water lines they could chew a hole in your water lines seeking to get water. I've tried the dryer sheets and the rodents used them for bedding material. I used Irish Spring bar soap in the past and it didn't work for me. I store my RV next to my stick built house and have it plugged into 50 Amp service. I use my RV as my Winter Storm HQ's during storms which cause my power to go out in my stick built. My RV is equipped with basement heat as long as it is plugged in or the genset is running it doesn't freeze. I also keep my heat on 50* inside my RV during the winter when, I'm not in the coach for the day or night. I use electronic devices (3 of them inside my coach, one at each end and one in the middle of my RV to deter rodents) Using this method I haven't had rodents inside my RV in a long time. I also took the time out to remove every drawer inside my coach and filled in behind the drawers and any runway #00 course steel wool. Also, I used the #00 course steel wool in my under the coach storage cabinets and any runways that I could find. I did the same with the under carriage of my coach. I had rodents chew up my wiring harness in my genset to the tune of $1,200.00 one time and, I don't want that to happen again. Rodents love to chew wires.
