Excellent information! I’m glad you’re talking about this subject, and I hope many new RVers find this video early in their RV journey. When we were new to RVs, I had no idea just how quickly those pesky little creatures could find your rig and move in. If you put your rig in storage (even for a couple of weeks) - remove ALL foodstuffs (only leave unopened cans or jars) and seal every hole you can find (no matter how small). We won’t even leave a grate from the grill behind unless it has been thoroughly cleaned. For prevention, we’ve used it all - dryer sheets, scented floral bags (especially in the engine compartment), aluminum foil, steel wool. You can win this battle if you stay ahead of it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences.

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Thanks for sharing your experience with mice and some of the methods you've used dealing with them. I'm sure your suggestions will be helpful for other RVers who view your comment. Have safe and happy (and mouse-free) RV travels!

[@TomSpurlock]

Thanks for the update. I like the latex glove suggestion. Good info.

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

I'm glad it was helpful Tom. Thanks for watching!

Awesome video on the subject 🎉

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Glad you liked it Marty. Thanks for watching!

A string on the glue-trap.... Whooda thought! ✨ What a video!

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

I'm glad it was helpful Kathy. Yes, the string worked great. It not only kept the mice from dragging the glue trap off into a hidden area of the ceiling but it also made it kind of easy to pull the trap with dead mice out of the vent hole. I used rubber gloves and dropped the glue trap into a plastic bucket to dispose of it. It actually worked pretty well for us. Thanks for watching!

Dryer sheets, like the cheapest ones you can get of the store brand. Doesn't completely prevent mice from entering, but keeps them from sticking around for a few cents worth of effort. They don't like the smell, put 1-2 of them in the void spaces like under the sinks, bottom of the drawers, closets, etc.. Like you mentioned in the video could be regional, works well in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana though.

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Thanks for making that suggestion. Have safe and happy RV travels!

Old school mouse traps with a bit of tootsie roll molded into the bait holder, so they can’t take it. Typically after one is caught the bait is still there ready to get another.

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Good idea. Thanks for contributing that tip!

[@johna5428]

Thanks for the information. What do you think about putting out a bowl of cloves in the RV for the scent apparently they don’t like.

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

It's worth a try John. But like all other mouse preventatives, it may or may not work. So if it doesn't just move on and try something else. :-)

[@charlesb.8261]

Thanks for the video! Has anyone out there tried predator urine?

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

I mentioned predator pee in one of my previous videos. It appears to work like so many other mouse prevention ideas, that is it works for some and doesn't work for others. It's worth a try though.

What areas UNDER the RV need sealing to KEEP THEM OUT

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Wherever there is anything that reaches from the ground up to the underbelly of the RV is where you should be looking especially for holes where they can enter into the RV. This includes wheel wells, around the power cord, sewer hose, and water hose. And if you have a motorhome it would include around the leveling jacks and any mudflaps. It's best to take a flashlight and look over the underbelly in those areas very carefully. And remember they only need a hole the size of a dime to get in.

Do ultrasonic systems work?

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

I tried them and they didn't work for me Sean. As I said in the video, they seem to work for others though and there doesn't seem to be a clear explanation why that is the case. My best advice on any mouse prevention idea is to try it and see if it works. If it doesn't, move on to something else. Thanks for watching!
