Decorative lights

I was told that the decorative lights people put around their recreational vehicles (the rope ones) are for keeping mice away. Is this true and does it work? I always thought they were just for looks and some outside lighting.
  • I thought they marked the runway for a nearby airport....:h.....Dennis
  • Do not trust the person you heard that from for anything having to do with science.
  • They do attract bugs during that time of the year.

    Not for us but to each his/her own.
  • Their main function is to run up the utility bill. The LED version does a very poor job of doing that.

    EDIT. They are very ineffective at repelling mice of the blind variety.
