Hellp need to close access points to mice.

[TXfreeze]

We have a lot of field mice in the area and we just can't seem to keep them from getting in and so far we haven't been able to seal all the entry points, is there any way to know all the access points in our 2003 Endeavor, so far we have been using repellents and traps and they work sometimes ,but we think if we can close the access points we may finally be able to keep them out. Thanks

I've heard that spraying with a mixture of peppermint oil - just a few drops into a small spray bottle like a eyeglasses sprayer will keep them out. I haven't tried it yet but don't have the problem so bad right now. If you find holes to block I've successfully used steel wool stuffed in the hole with the mastic pasted/mashed into it. Been a long time ago and I don't remember the brand that I used.

Tried a quick search and stumbled on this stuff which seems like it might be worth a try. Good luck.

You will need to crawl underneath to examine where there are holes. Look in areas where plumbing or wires go through the floor, and ceiling. I don’t know whether or not it helps, but I use Fresh Cab and when the scent dissipates I add Now essential peppermint oil to these. They are in every baement compartment, in the cupboards, under the bed, under the dash, in the engine compartment, etc. The scent is so strong when in storage, that you can smell it walking by on the outside. I also throw mothballs underneath the coach. Fortunately, I have not seen any rodents nearby lately, except chipmunks at the old house and at the campground I stayed at this summer. You may want to put traps outside the coach. If there are a lot of them you may be at war.

Sounds like you could use some outdoor cats.
