MICE

How do I get rid of mice? Last year I had them in the living area but I have stopped that from happening. Now they are in the basement and in the area where all the plumbing and things are. I have been using Fresh Cab and last year I thought it was working but it doesn't seem to be doing so well this year. Since Sunday I have trapped 5 and a week or two before I trapped 1. Hopefully I have gotten the MAMA and the BABIES haven't had a chance to reproduce yet. Any recommendations how to keep them out. :h

    use peppermint oil on cotton balls inside. sometimes Fresh Cab. Red fox urine outside camper. Plastic container with Decon inside placed under camper. small holes at bottom to allow mice entry.

    Have you been replacing your fresh cab every month?


    Every 30-60 days

    I have thought of the predator pee but since we live in the desert and our lot backs up to state trust land and we always have Coyotes and Javelina. Maybe Bobcat cat pee would deter them as well but I damn sure don't want Bobcats hanging around either.

    I have had success with peppermint oil in our TT. I used "pure" peppermint oil on cotton balls in plastic containers. I do the same in the MH except I have 2 ultra sonics inside the coach. out side I use moth balls in plastic containers with holes in the lid placed by the tires and in the basement (no smell from the moth balls gets to the inside)
