Found a mouse nest! GRRR!

Just brought the trailer home from storage and opened the door. right in front of me were the rugs we left in the camper over the winter with a nest and a bunch of droppings. Have been storing my campers in the same place for 7 years and this is the first time we've had mice. Always thought the dryer sheets were the ticket too. Didn't find any other damage to the camper and can't find where they got in. Have a trap set to maybe catch the SOB!

Peanut butter and a snap trap works on these north west mice and my Black Lab spots then like a cat. I had one eat through my wiring under the dash of one of my logging trucks.

Nasty little critters!

X2 everything but the glue traps; snap traps do the job. Haven't had much luck with anything scented.

but mice are more clever than we give them credit for

My observation of mice is that very generation gets smarter than last.

We're back to spring traps but with latest generation (Grandparents or parents didn't tell them about those old fashion things)
We super glue a 1/2 peanut to the trap metal bait thing. Sometimes even have to sand peanut to get nice flat gluing surface.

I'm afraid for the next couple generations from now.

Yuck. we tried dryer sheets, herbal packets, and various other things, but the best bet is 1) find & seal up all the spots where they can get in, and 2) have sticky traps set around the camper - and check it during the winter. Tough when it's in storage, I'm sure, but mice are more clever than we give them credit for, I think.
Good luck!
