I had a dead one in my heat ducts, and tried everything, and that finally blew it and a bunch of dirt out.
Just be ready to clean the trailer afterwards.

I had a bottle of liquid tank deodorizer bust and run down the heating ducts. I used string and rags to clean the ducts.
Calling a plumber is a good idea, their cameras are designed for tight spaces.

I have a fifth wheel RV. Recently I've had a mouse invasion I live out in the country so field mice isn't uncommon but they got in my duct work. The RV place said that they don't clean them and to just get a air compressor and Lysol and that should work. I smell It when I run the AC what do I do?

Mice invaded the engine area of our Class-C when we were in FL this past winter. The smell is nauseating. We plan to use something like Gunk, Sudsy Ammonia or Pine Cleaner, then hosing the engine off.
But down in the vents... can you safely spray water down them? How else can you get the mouse urine and feces out of them?
