Arrrghhh! MICE!

[Nevadastars]

I think we have a mouse trying to nest in our MH. Last weekend I moved it out of its cover and our little Dachshund would not quit sniffing around the right front suspension area. I pretty much ignored it and told him to get away, even though he resisted and kept wanting to go back.

I brought it back out of its cover today to do some things to it, and he was right back to the same spot. I crawled underneath and did not see a thing. So, I popped the hood and was greeted with a bunch of pieces of chicken feathers on the battery from my wife's laying hens. I assume it is from a mouse even though there no droppings to be found anywhere.

Bottom line, what is a sure fire way to mouse proof your MH? Is there such a thing. I have never had to deal with them before except a couple that got in the house years ago.

A mouse that eats chickens? Yikes! Snap trap and peanut butter. All the different smelly items do nothing, imo.

I read years ago to put dryer sheets (Bounce) in the trailer when not in use. Some years I do that when it goes in for storage, some years I haven't . No mice so far.

Get some sticky mouse traps. Work like a charm. Take it from my experience.

A pet "fox snake" will eradicate the mice in short order.

Try several of these packets: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0021LWPPY/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=39G6SAEIPVJ30&coliid=I2YQ1BWAN5BSKY&psc=1 (maybe all if your MH is large) and several cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil (NOT EXTRACT), changing every 3 months or so.
