Nightmare Camping: My Dream Trip Ruined By RODENT INVASION!

[@Cravenn5]

Lolol 😂lovely I’m an animal Loving natural vegan too… you need a spring trap 🪤 🥴 that mouse has disturbed your being along with the dog trying to put his head under the cover. Let me tell you everything is choas… oooh they love peanut butter ❤️😭

[@KimannChessa]

Thanks for the tips! I try to live my life by practicing Ahimsa. It was a moral dilemma.

[@solidgonzalez5070]

Just use a spray bottle with red chilli flakes and peppermint oil combined with water. It will keep them away!! We do it every night to keep them out of our Tacoma cause mice & rats love truck wires😬 Hope this helps👍🏼

[@KimannChessa]

Ahhh! So, do you spray it around your truck?

[@solidgonzalez5070]

@@KimannChessa 🙌🏼 We spray it in our tires, engine even on the ground around the truck. In your case, I would spray it on the floorboard of your camper and around your camper as well. They start chewing things it sucks🫤

[@SpykersB]

@@solidgonzalez5070 cant spray that anywhere that a dog will lick. Peppermint oil toxic for dogs.

[@KimannChessa]

After the mouse, I've been putting peppermint oil in my drawers and under the cabinets. I wish lavender would repel mice. It's safer for dogs. Thanks, guys!

[@KimannChessa]

I just read that lavender deters rodents, and oregano oil is toxic to dogs. 😯

[@inbeenergy]

The view & homemade almond milk 👌🏽👌🏽

[@bluesyoucanuse]

We saw you camping at the Cracker Barrel in Walterboro SC! Small World

[@KimannChessa]

Ohh! Yes! I was there! Say hello next time. It is always a joy when viewers recognize us! I appreciate you watching!

[@timrodatz1274]

Id have mouse traps on hand snap it's gone.

[@KimannChessa]

I didn't want to kill it, but he couldn't stay in my camper. He was pooping in the heating vents and I was not getting any sleep.

Your tofu scramble looked great.

4:00 WOW!!! These views are breathtaking.

[@KimannChessa]

It was gorgeous, Isaac! Thanks for watching!

[@monicamestas7566]

Epic view. Glad you finally made it 😆 Yeah, the dogs are, like, "What is happening? You want us to do what?" When you said "your next plan was," I thought you were headed for the fire extinguisher LOL So weird that dead mouse was just keeled over on a tree stump. I'm commenting as you're telling the tale. Can't wait to see where it goes........ Note: Glad you have your phone with you when you're climbing on the camper top and of course hiking. You know, "I've fallen and I can't get up!!!" Yummy tofu scramble looks delish. Necessity is the Mother of Invention/Creativity. The mouse saga continues. Can't wait.

[@KimannChessa]

It was good that I had my phone with me! I take it hiking but sometimes don't have service (I need a Garmin inReach), and it was unintentional that I had it climbing on the roof, but it was a very good idea, as you said! Thank you for pointing that out. I lost some footage when importing my clips for the following rat video. I don't know how. Maybe it happened when transferring clips to the external hard drive. So, I don't know if I will get the rodent saga out this week, but I may have to do another video like the two I have been working on - A Camper Tour and Why I Left Nursing. Does any one of those interest you? I appreciate your opinion. You gave me an idea to post this in the community and ask the same question. You are giving me a lot of helpful ideas!

[@monicamestas7566]

@@KimannChessa Definitely interested in the nursing backstory. I think it really helps to connect with viewers. Some people are probably only interested in the moment but I love hearing people's history and personal bios. Enjoy and safe travels...........

[@Bhatia423]

I love this video. Beautiful Grand Canon Thank you for sharing. Iam so scared of getting mouse in my camper too.

[@KimannChessa]

Thank you! It took over a week to edit because I had over 300 clips! I hope you never get a mouse in your camper. Peppermint oil seems to repel them.

[@KylePeterson-ji7wo]

I think I saw Big Foot at 13:40

[@KimannChessa]

Lol! I have to look!

[@KimannChessa]

You are right! I say it too! Very funny!

[@12Gaile]

I totally sympathize & can relate. I own a townhouse & I have had off & on mise issues & I have a cat. My cat chases but does not catch. I had to hire a company to help. They come every month. I have not seen a mouse in a year. Sending positive vibes your way. 😊❤🐶🐕🌹

[@KimannChessa]

I can feel your positivity! Thank you!

[@grayfox9911]

That was a beautiful view!! I hope you scared the mouse out ....

[@KimannChessa]

Getting the mouse out was the real nightmare. 😢

[@DebbieRay64]

You had me laughing. I would have been sleeping in the truck. Poor puppies was tired.😂😂

[@KimannChessa]

I ended up sleeping in the truck one night! That story is in the next video.

[@tuckerandi]

WOW !!! That view to wake up to. Homemade almond milk now that's cool !! A duhh moment with the dog food and cable, I have those daily lol. Seems the garbage didn't help LOL. Ron looked like I'm not getting no mouse LOL. Those white tail deer were neat to see. I bet the dogs loved the extra treats in their meals. Good Luck with that mouse , I've been there I know your pain LOL. Hope you have an awesome and Mouse free week.

[@KimannChessa]

Thank you! Getting the mouse out was a nightmare!

[@AnasAdventures111]

I love that spot. I camped with my friend up there last year. Please don’t use peppermint essential oils around the dogs. It’s toxic. Mice can’t resist Nutella or Peanut Butter. I keep a couple catch and release traps on hand for these nightmare situations. Works like a charm. Safe travels. (First time viewer)

Spray diluted Pinesol spray around your camper. Will also keep other critters away including bears.

Hi Kimann, what an awesome and funny video.Your channel gets better all the time 👍😅... I can't wait to meet you and share some MOUSE PREVENTION tips 😂❤

[@KimannChessa]

Thank you! Yes! I need tips! #1 is not leaving the window open in the forest!

[@2gofaster]

First, I'm elated for you since you are enjoying and experiencing beautiful views. I love all animals, but certain rodents do not make my favorite list. Second, I have tried most rodent removal methods, including all the ones you showed (25% success rate) in your video. But, the spring-loaded traps work the best. 95% success if you bait it with sunflower seeds tightly crammed inside the barrel. (No shell, just seed) I was also frustrated when sticky traps along with the rest didn't seem to stimulate the mouse. Small traps for mice - large trap for rats. The one thing you must do is.... it can not be accessible to the puppies' reach (noses, paws) My Yorkies could not reach the trap I set out, but they alert me when the mouse took the bait 35 mins after it was placed. It's been over a month since I trapped the 1st one and had no more issues. Now, I feed my Yorkies only what they need throughout the day. There is nothing extra, and that seems to work perfectly. Best of luck and I'm sending my love right back at ya. ❤🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏

[@KimannChessa]

You are right about the efficiency of trap and release traps. That little bugger was very smart! It was a moral dilemma that I never wanted to experience, but you can't control life!

[@Debsster]

I'm so jealous. I've never been there. I want to so bad. I wish i had a camper right now.

[@KimannChessa]

You will get there when the time is right for you!

[@jmubreader]

I think your dogs are well fed! If they were hungry, they really be into the mice.

[@KimannChessa]

You are right! They are too comfortable for mouse hunting!

[@SpykersB]

Someday yet I'm gonna see that grand canyon with my own eyes too. Haven't had to deal with mice inside my camper yet. Dreading that day. Had to deal with mice in my condo though, came up from the buildings crawl space, the water heating pipe holes, so stuffed all pipe holes with steel wool, which works. My worry is them chewing on wires in the camper. Be curious to know if in fact your little bugger 🐁 found another way inside besides your window? 😬. 🍻

[@KimannChessa]

Yes! See the Grand Canyon! It is breathtaking! I was concerned about him chewing wires, pooping in my heating vents and drawers, and possibly getting my dogs sick or fleas! I looked on the Facebook Cirrus group that I belong to and no one had a post about mice. It's possible that he got in another way but I think it was me. There aren't many other entrances because all of the systems are inside. It was a moral dilemma that I always feared because I didn't want to kill him!

[@jimmyneck2854]

Have you ever heard the saying anybody who says they're not afraid of spiders has never lost sight of one in their bedroom😂 thank you for looking for a humane way to catch the little guy they're all God's creatures

[@KimannChessa]

I never heard that saying but it is spot on! It was a terrible moral dilemma! I didn't want any harm to come to him.

[@SpykersB]

@@jimmyneck2854 lol! I grew up summers at a lake, u would think spider's don't bother me, but man they bother me, n I actually saw a spider in my bedroom at my condo once, ran to get the fly swatter, swatted at it n it escaped! I tore the bedding off, got a flashlight was crawling looking under bed n everywhere, i then sat on the bed, defeated thinking how am i gonna sleep! I look down n there it was clinging to the side of the bed mattress. 💥. I was able to sleep! Yuk!!! 😂🍻

[@KimannChessa]

That is a funny story! I get a vision of the bed torn apart and you sitting breathless on the floor in frustration until you see the little guy.

[@SpykersB]

@@KimannChessa lol! That is exactly what happened. Total freaking frustration, i imagined the bugger crawling on me sleeping, just makes me shrill, exasperated alright. Sounds ridiculous really eh, a little spider, but he had long translucent like legs reddish body, so bizarre to have a stupid silly fear over something so tiny as compared to our size. So yeah gotta laugh at the drama of it all. 🍻

It is funny that humans have the same irrational fears. I have one about cockroaches. They don't even bite.
