Problem Mouse in the coach

[lostinfla]

Since the coach is stored in the back yard with no food in it and there seem to be a lot of cats in the area, I didn't think a mouse would be a problem, and yet, here we are. I set up a camera and caught a pic of him sniffing the electric trap, but nothing since. I put a couple small traps out and the mouse took all the peanut butter off but didn't trip the trap. I bought an electric unit, and some sticky traps, but after last night, no results. Anybody have tips as to what to try?

I had an issue years ago in my garage, house, etc. I used glue traps with peanut butter on them.

Mice will eat your wiring in a heartbeat.
We feed an average of 8 to 12 wild cats, and we have two indoor cats.
What has worked for me and seems to be neat is I buy mouse packs and put one in every collector car, in my attic, and have two in the motor home after 24 years here in the woods, never a problem.
I replace it every 2-3 years.
I just took this picture going up to the attic; someone had their last meal.

If the rodent dies in the coach, I imagine it might be hard to find and would stink to high heaven.

LOL
They dont; as soon as they break into the pellets, they run for water. First, drink, and they die.
I find the bodies in our goldfish pond.

I've got 4 HD rat/snake/ mouse glue traps in the coach now with peanut butter. Hopefully tonight's the night

That looked large for a mouse Bwk, I had a black rat get into mine last year and he would not be caught by a trap. Same with squirrels. Finally got him with 2 kinds of poison.

I have never seen a rat here, as we have a lot of rat snakes around the woods, but these are sold as mice baits.
Seam to work well; the one in the picture has been there about three years; first, I was at steps about a year ago, so who knows what and when it was attacked.

Did he leave to die or did he end up dead in the coach?

I pulled my camper a few miles to a local campground and he flopped out of the back hatch while I was sitting there with an adult beverage and friends. Dispatched it with the blunt side of a hatchet. I later pulled the bottom down as mine was just a fabric and found one dead mouse in the fiberglass. I believe these poisons advertise that they somehow negate most of the smell? I had him buttoned in there so he probably didn't feel like chewing a new hole. I now have several packets permanently installed in the belly thru holes I have patched in. Plus steel wool and expanding foam in the areas where they were getting into the interior.
