MICE

Honestly, until you plug up ALL of the holes there is NOTHING which is going to drive them out other than poison.

You CAN still get Decon baits, they are now in a different "form" from what you have be used to buying.

Seen these at my local Walmart not long ago..



But in reality, you REALLY DO NOT WANT TO POISON THEM INSIDE YOUR RV!

Yeah, they take the stuff then die inside walls and such where you cannot get to them to remove.

Find a GOOD TRAP, trap them, but you REALLY need to plug up the holes, if you can't do it, find someone who can..

Don't bother with those "home" remedies, you will waist your money, time and the mice will keep trashing your RV..

Trust me, once they get into your heating system the smell NEVER goes away until you either sell the RV or burn it to the ground.

Moth balls will drive -YOU- out also!..:(

Lingering BAD odor - even after removal!..:(

Fresh Cab...:C - Google for sources.

Drops of peppermint oil on cotton balls....:C - As one poster (another thread) stated, "strategically placed".
Peppermint oil avail at any health food store.

Some claim dryer sheets and/or bars of Irish Spring Soap - others have not had good luck with those two...:(

Try a search here on "Mice".
Also - "Peppermint Oil" and "Fresh Cab".
Both will do the job - without you getting under the rig or borrowing a cat.

There are various things that MIGHT work ... These are the electronic noise makers (ultrasonic mouse repellers), and various types of things that small bad to mice, and poisons.

The repellers make an area less pleasant than it otherwise would have been. Mice, being fairly rational critters, are looking for a good place to nest. They'll check out a number of sites and pick the best. The noise makers and scent things make an area less pleasant. If it's still the best spot the mouse finds, it'll still nest there.

Poisons can have the downside of poisoning other critters who eat the poisoned mouse, or of the mouse kicking the bucket somewhere hidden within your trailer. They also won't keep the mouse out, and take a little while to work. Assuming you don't have many though, once they're gone they might stay that way.

The best: Seal all openings into the trailer. Don't let them get in in the first place. (This only works for actual trailers though, not for RVs, and getting to all of the openings and such can take a while, involves lots of crawling and bending, and sometimes removing false panels to find the plumbing and electrical runs.) Obviously you'd not be up for that until you heal!

Best wishes with your injuries.
