Help!!!! Mice invasion

I discovered about three weeks ago a mouse nest in the drawer of my truck camper. It was fairly new because I check my camper thoroughly often. In the past three weeks I have caught 6 mice with the old fashion snap traps. I don’t see any evidence of them in the main part of the camper it appears that they are in the draw (which is by the furnace) and the bathroom cubby. These are the areas I am putting the traps. What advice would you guys with experience with this give me. I never had this problem in the past 10 years. Thanks

    Get a couple bars of the “Original “ Irish Spring soap. Shave it up into small pieces and place in small open containers and put in your rig. No more mice, also works on Porcupines.

    Also look for where they are getting in and plug the holes.

    Buy some stainless steel wool and a can of rodent proof spray foam. Start filling every opening you can find. Remember the buggers can squeeze through a hole the size of a dime.

    Do you have it plugged in to shore power, are they coming up the cord? Is it on or off the truck?
