Question Mouse?

Don't delay, the damage they can do is serious and both of my cars had big insurance claims to redo interiors, etc.

Think I found the access point also. Beware of keeping chairs under the slide near these openings

@Neal taking the rodents out!

I have searched for a refillable plug in? Please do share. The victor ones cannot be refilled according to Victor.

Apparently some have refilled the unit. I saw comments that the wick cap can be snapped off and refilled. I'm sure they would rather you buy another glass, plus liability issues that might arise from people having leaks, finding a local slip and fall lawyer and suffering sexual disfunction because of it.

cab fresh or fresh cab, a natural repellant, available at farm stores is what I use along with electronic repellers

Success!! Now to assess damage and repair if necessary. I'll leave a few traps around just in case.

RIP minnie ?

Don't let your guard down. There could be accomplices.

Pulled the drawers and floor beneath them to check. Vacuumed all the debris out and happy to say he (or she) was happy with the coffee pods. (Nothing worse than a caffenated mouse in the coach) No other damage found as of yet. Left two traps active in the coach and plugged the mint scent machine in a basement outlet to hopefully dissuade any further intrusion. Thanks for all the moral support!!

All - Going to tell you my story, but the fellow on youtube, says it don't work. We bought "BOUNCE" dryer sheets, put them in every compartment, then I put traps out in all compartments. Caught/killed the one mouse I had. Cleaned up where they had try to build nest in services bay plumbing. Since then, with traps bated, and dryer sheets (BOUNCE) not one mouse, no distirbuance on the traps, and none of the "food in the trigger" of the traps disturbed. So even though he says dryer sheets dont work, they work for us. Went to Tractor Supply, was looking at the ultrasonic mole deterents, the fellow said who worked there, they set up a specific vibration in the ground, and the moles dont like it, and leave. I asked him how many had been returned and he said none. I also believe in the old style traps, the new style dont seem to work as well. I am talking about the plastic "trigger" verses the old copper style. This was last year (2020) in summer, and so far none. So to each his own. The dryer sheets make the motorhome smell like bounce, but no mice. In his video, he does not use bounce, he uses another brand, bounce was specifically recommended to me by someone and it's seems to work. We bought pepermint oil, but never put it out, still sitting in cabinet. I was afraid it would spill and cause a mess, worse than the mice.

We had a mouse too.... used the Victor Snap Traps with success. Now we keep some set in the electric, water and a couple bays on the passenger side plus a couple in the house. We use peanut butter. It's been months since our 1st catch.

You should be using bronze wool to fill any gaps where the water hose and electric cord exit the coach. Rodents don't like to chew it and it won't rust.

Waste of money.

I put in battery operated ultrasonic W/ lights. 1 in each side in bays and one in ceiling. Removed speaker, put device in ceiling, reinstalled speaker. Heard critters before, Within 30 hours heard nothing and nothing since. Bought on amazon. That was about 10 months ago "c" batteries each. Last roughly 3 months,
