Irish Spring Soap as Mouse Deterrant
Saw a post on Facebook stating that placing bits of Irish Spring handsoap throughout the RV is an effective deterrant against mice. Has anybody here tried that, and does it work? Or do you just wind...

I am fighting mice in a cabin I have in the woods.
Tried peppermint, mothballs ,oils, steel wool. poison,traps. I’m not there f/t but a cat is a good choice.
There are down sides to traps and poisons as rotting carcasses really stink up a area.
Fresh Cab works, and doesn't smell horrible. I wouldn't say it smells great but it's tolerable. It was taken off the market by the manufacturer late last year but it's back. They didn't really have a clear explanation but I've read it was an issue with one of their suppliers related to the EPA-certification of the ingredients. I'm hoping they didn't change the formula because it does work.
Fresh Cab on Amazon
Tried fresh cab ( now marketed as stay away for mice) under hood of TV 2 packs next to the batteries, changed every* 5-6 weeks, truck was parked in garage. Mice chewed the tops of both battery’s insulators inches from the stay away packets. In car they continue to nest under the hood liner. I run 3 bucket traps that I constantly catch mice in
* Instructions of stay away says good up to 2months
Fresh cab & stay away just doesn’t work for me and it’s $$$
