  • I’ve been using old school wood traps around the motorhome and under hood, also cotton balls with mint oil under hood and in coach, foam spray underneath as well plus mint spraying underneath and engine bay. So far it’s keeping them at bay. Also when my wife turns into a “pest” I take a squirt bottle with water and spritz her once or twice and out the coach she goes! Works for 60 seconds at best.👍

    I don't understand why the manufactures don't take the steps to seal off these entry points to begin with. So frustrating.

    When I bought my used Dutchman, I paid to have the whole underneath sprayed with a spray foam deterrent at an rv dealer. Best peace of mind I ever spent! It was parked at a lake surrounded by farmers fields. I would also put a few boxes of super smelly fabric softener sheets everywhere when closing up in the fall. Do not put them closed up where you keep your food in the future. I couldn't get the scent out for months & the marshmallows tasted horrible! lol Also, do not store items, especially piles of firewood underneath. Its like a ladder for them. Never had one even once in over 10 years!

    For what a person pays for a RV maybe the manufacturers should start making them mouse proof

    Thank you for this video. We’ll be picking our trailer up next month and these tips are going to be very helpful in trying to keep the mice and rodents from seeking shelter in our trailer.

    Over winter storage. I keep a low battery in my smoke. Detector so it chirps every few minutes. And that is the absolute best way I found to keep mice out.

    Mice can fit through a crack or hole one-fourth of an inch or larger - or about the width of a pencil. Good luck keeping them out.

    We slept with our door open on a warm night. A critter came in through the bug net by chewing his way in. After it got in, it wanted to get out. What a racket! We were up and down all night long trying to find it. laid out four sticky traps to no avail. About 6am I shone my headlamp to the front of the cab and there it was…a huge kangaroo rat! I was sure it was going to bite my leg off. I quickly swung open the cab door and ran back to the safety of my bed. It must have run out as after that all was quiet. Smoky Mountain road south of Escalante.
  • Gotta love your cat your right about over feeding will detour them from looking for something to eat.
  • @kendaleklund7475
    Recommend for Winter Storage is to place a Rinnetraps - Flip-N-Slide Bucket Mouse trap, in your storage area! Use car antifreeze in the bottom of the bucket to keep the animals from stinking up the place when they die! Bait the lid with peanut butter!
  • @bigoldal2436
    Ditto on the stink bugs. We used to have a real problem with mice a few years ago but we use LED patio lights under our RV ,so and only one mouse in over 3 years
  • In the pacific north west dryer sheets seem to work. I do love your cat as part of your pets control. Looks like she is well loved.
  • Thank you, I have saved this video for future reference.
