What do you do for winter storage

We are renting a storage unit for are new motor home how do you keep mice from getting in your rv some one told me fabric sheets and then read to put Irish spring soap open in the rv not sure what to do
  • We usually keep several boxes of a brand name mouse bait at several locations in and around the Motor home when it is not in use. Check them as often as possible, looking for any signs of use. If you find any being used, look for other signs of the source and try to fix or seal them.
  • I see a new item called Rodent Sheriff. Good and bad reviews ??? Next try buying 6 cats, may need more if you run out of mice.

    You might try a search for the hundreds of past threads posted on this topic with every possible solution known to man. The only sure method is to seal EVERY possible opening.
  • Tried em all best solution is to prevent entey. Home Depot sells rhodent proof spray foam. Buy a couple cans and spend a day sealing everything you can find. On larger openings add steel wool first. Then buy a bunch of sticky traps, add a small dab of peanut butter. You will then have done everything you can.
