mice/rat repellent

Aromatic conifer boughs like spruce and fir.
Add some traps just in case.

two boats three rv,s sitting in a pole barn next to a corn field. I use peppermint oil couple times a winter. and a product called fresh cab. the farmers around me use fresh cab in the combines that sit for 8months and tractors with inclosures. can be bought on e bay or a farm store. I have no critters.

Your best aolution is to stop them getting in. Seal all openings first with SS steel wool or screen followed gby mouse proof spray foam. Its a constant battle for sure, but its a battle that can be won.

x2 for Fresh Cab. You just need to keep it fresh (I believe the manufacturer says replace every 30 days). As soon as the scent starts to fade the friggin mice come right back.

I use a product call Just One Bite. Get it at the big box stores. It kills them by using microglass beads and an anticoagulant. Very soon after they eat it they bleed out into their gut. I have aircraft in a hangar, and I put blocks of it at the perimeter where they like to be. Once ingested, it sets up an intense thirst and most often they exit the hangar in search of water. Occasionally I find a dead one.

Rv and 3 farm tractors plus my pickup in the barn and never used anything but a couple barn cats. I might get paw prints on the hoods but no vermin ever. Hard to beat a tabby.

Remove anything from inside the RV that a rodent would consider food. Incl spices and medications.
Seal all openings under the RV.
Use bait traps on the outside of the RV so the have something to eat.

Snakes. Lots of snakes. :)

What repellent actualy works to keep mice/rats out of an rv, irish spring soap or pepermint oil?

Neither. The only sure way to keep them out is to physically bar all entry points.
