Mice and soap

Yup, the shop at the RV store where I work pulls half-eaten bars of Irish Spring and beds made from dryer sheets out of the campers we store every spring. And yet the myth perpetuates.

At least you know your mice are "squeaky" clean! :B

Irish spring does not work. Here's the proof.

You can't tell people that, though... They leave a bar in the TT, no mice show up, and they insist it's proof positive that the stuff works.

Just like the essential oil true believers...

It may not be good for mice but, it's good for Irish Spring sales. :)

Dynamite or a Jack Russel terrorist are about the only things that will stop rats...or snakes in warm weather.
What about the cinnamon oil on cotton ball thing, does it work?

its peppermint oil. and a product called fresh cab. my rv or boat have mice for lots of years. sits in a pole bldg next to the grain field.

cavie, we could’ve taken that photo ourselves.....we had exactly the same thing happen. Two years ago, my wife started using little vented, plastic, condiment containers holding cotton balls with “ peppermint essential oils”. We placed these around throughout both our 5th wheel and our little class c.....so far we’ve been “mouse free”! I still have “sticky traps” placed around...but , haven’t caught a mouse in quite some time. memtb

Well... I put a cut up bars of Irish Springs in my 5th wheel last winter and it is the first spring I didn't find any trace of mice. Maybe if you leave it in the box it doesn't work?

I might try peppermint oil this year. Seems like a better smell than Irish Springs.

Maybe there are no mice to begin with?

Ding Ding Ding!!! Winner winner chicken dinner!

You will never convince people that these things don't work, though...

I accidentally left a few empty beer cans in the camper last year, and there were no mice.... hmmm...
