Just opened up the trailer this morning from its long winter nap to check things over and start getting ready for camping season. I found one single mouse turd in a drawer. I have tried all of the gimmicks over the years in the boat and camper. Always found the best thing was just good ole Bounce dryer sheets. For the last 3 years I have been also using a product called Grandpa Gus's Mouse Pouches in addition to my dryer sheets and noticed that we didnt have any mouse **** at all. Last fall I decided to just use the mouse pouches. Same results. one single little turd is a victory to me.To give a little background my trailer is parked on a farm right by a machine shed full of farming equipment including a feed grinding mill, so mice and rats are a staple of the area.I have no affiliation to this company. Just thought I may be able to help out fellow RVers

well mine sits in about the same area. BUT I use peppermint oil drops all around and inside not a mouse about ten years now. boat same way. I do set traps with peanut butter out side about ten/twenty food away. farmers out west use this ,most there machines set under open buildings. but theres no true thing that works.

Hedge apples. Keeps mice and spiders away. Place a few in something like 1 gal milk jugs. Set several around inside and in the basement. The hedge apples will soften and begin to rot during the winter with the freezing and thawing so the need to put them in something like plastic jugs. But when they soften and start rotting they put off a sweet smell which not only keeps the critters away but gives the camper a nice smell.I'm in the country where crops are all around the house and camper. Hedge apples have worked for years keeping critters out.

We tried the peppermint oil a few years ago and had the worst year ever so we never tried it again. We tried the hedge apple in our basement once a long time ago to try getting rid of spiders and they just built webs right on top of them. LOL

wis tuff state home of the 3 inch mosquito.lol I use real peppermint oil.

Isn't the best solution to find the points of entry? There should be none in a well built RV but at the worst there should only be a very few possibilities.
