Mice in July !

This year is so different. In 15 years, I've NEVER had mice in my RV as late as July. (yesterday). If I don't snowbird, they're gone by the end of April/early May.

Normally I have 10 snap traps between outside and inside. Unfortunately, the peanut butter...in this heat doesn't last. The pepperment/cotton thing mentioned here in the forum is too expensive. I don't want the poison traps...they (mice) go off to die somewhere IN the RV and....stink up the place. (experience)

I've heard of a common available product one can put on the ground around the tires that keeps them away. Anyone know about this?

Any New suggestions out there?

You want my 9 older links on this? You're likely to just get the same old answers anyway, because how would we know if answers are new?

Go camping in July is sagebrush country and there's a good possibility you'll get mice - yes, in July. 🙂

After we spray foamed all the access holes, we haven't had mice at all. It is the only thing we have found that keeps them out.

You can also set a bucket trap. they work REALLY well.
