Rodent Proofing ? Best Methods, What works, what Doesn't

Only had my Coach stored for 6 weeks, took her out for a quick weekend and found rodent droppings in the house. We do not store any food on board while in storage. It is stored outside in a rural area - on gravel.

What are any preventive measures I can take to keep them out ?

Thanks

Wooden snap traps.Peanut butter. Tried other stuff...these work. Buy around a dozen, put some outside, others inside. All around. Sometimes reusable. Replace peanut butter every 2-3 weeks.

I get most in the generator section. Why? Don't know. I average 3-4 a winter.

Fresh Cab placed in several places inside, good for 3 months, available from Amazon. Slices of Irish Spring on top of the tires. Steel wool in any holes you can find. To discourage ants, baking soda around the tires on the ground, or on top of the tires.
