We use a combination of enclosed kill traps (dead mouse in a box easily dumped) and Decon around our house and camper. Decon not an option if you have pets, but if not, fast and easy and generally gets the entire bunch (where there is one, there are more) quickly. No odor either. <br />Steel wool a great tool too! But make sure to search RV after about a week, as they cannot digest.<br />Good Luck!Duckiiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433045188967895150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-73568109435582829022016-03-07T13:24:29.593-05:002016-03-07T13:24:29.593-05:00We have had mice twice-what a pain!

Amazon carries it and has some pretty good deals.<br /><br />We used the old, wooden style traps. For mice, chunky peanut butter as bait worked best (for rats it was trail mix). One trap in the wet bay, one where our water tank drain was and 2 in the kitchen area.<br /><br />If you catch one, set again cause you WILL catch at least one more. Good luck, take no prisoners.<br />C n D Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649274933656727384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-68773910161108897522016-03-05T12:36:55.045-05:002016-03-05T12:36:55.045-05:00I tried those glue traps once.

It had shredded the paper towels to make a nest and he found two baby mice in the nest. He removed the nest and the babies and we set two traps. Haven't caught anything yet, but haven't seen any evidence that the critter is still with us...but we are watching;o))Nancy and Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923426994795610528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-51956754372226884562016-03-05T05:47:55.191-05:002016-03-05T05:47:55.191-05:00We only had them once9 years ago and as soon as we...We only had them once9 years ago and as soon as we headed on down the road he jumped ship never to be heard from again.<br />Good luck with your hunt.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-83108539307739152462016-03-05T03:04:06.108-05:002016-03-05T03:04:06.108-05:00I don't think mice would live long with us, bu...I don't think mice would live long with us, but I don't want to find out.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-60650791401181451632016-03-04T22:01:37.277-05:002016-03-04T22:01:37.277-05:00I'm with Marty on the mice thing.

When the trailer gets stored we sometimes have visitors but when we plug into shore power we've actually watched them run the other way. We bought a four pack putting one in each room and in the basement.

Just make sure they are NOT Mickey and Minnie when you set those traps.
