What brand of dryer sheets do you put in drawers to deter mice from entering your trailer?

Works the same to keep unicorns out too. Bet you've never had one of those, either.


Wow. You are funny...not.

For what it's worth, the phone repairman came last week and fixed my line - mouse nest up in the box on the phone pole. He repaired wires and said he sprayed it with lysol. They use it to repel mice. I have no idea if it works or not.

Here is a mouse nest made out of dryer sheets and cotton balls with peppermint oil on them.



On another note. I thought my dad was crazy when he bought some elephant spray 50 years ago from a door to door salesman. A small bottle cost $100 bucks!

The joke was on me. He used it each and every year and there has not been one elephant around my house...........ever! The bottle is almost empty and I heard the new bottle costs $500 bucks! Inflation, you got to love it! :B

Yes, dryer sheets do work.
We spread them throughout our rig and have never had a problem with these.

How do you seal the area where your slide enters/exits the inner bottom?

I've never used anything in the trailer, just made sure the underside is sealed up and there's nothing that can be considered food in it.
Never had a problem either.

Same here, and have never had a problem in 4 years of ownership.

Well, contrary to the general opinion in this thread so far, we do use regular Bounce in our trailer before putting it into winter storage, and we have never had a mouse enter our trailer. (And, when I say we use Bounce, I mean we use practically a whole box -- in every cupboard, shelf, drawer, under the bed, behind the couch, on top of the slide, in the storage areas, literally EVERYWHERE!) Our camper pretty much always smells Bounce fresh...

Any of them will do exactly the same thing - absolutely nothing to keep mice out.
