New mouse prevention update

As I am sure some have seen my posts on mice prevention and how those gimmick solutions do not work. I have always maintained that they only way to prevent mice is to seal up the trailer.

So after parking my trailer where I have gotten at least one mouse every year for that last two within a month(while using PURE peppermint, dry sheets, moth balls and cab fresh), I was cleaning where my low point drain is in a plastic container in the floor. As I felt under the lip with my cleaning rag, I could feel that the plumbing came into the trailer from outside in a hole that was about 1" bigger than the plumbing.
I got some mice prevent spray foam and a mirror to spray the hole sealed all around the plumbing.
I checked on the trailer this past weekend and for the first time in two years, the traps are empty and I do not have a mouse yet(trailer has been there since mid October)

Anyway, point is if you get mice, they are getting in from somewhere, and that somewhere isn't always visible.

Ive only had 3 campers since 1981. Two of them were purchased new. one of the first things I do when i get it home, is crawl underneath the entire trailer and fill any hole I see, no matter how big or small, with Great Stuff expanding foam. I also store with drawers and cupboards open (mice prefer to build their nests hidden, not exposed) and I go crazy with dryer sheets on the inside. Not sure if it works, or the place I store it doesn't have a mouse problem. I don't really care, because either way, they're not living in my trailer.
