Keep Mice Out Of Travel Trailer

Keep mice out of your travel trailer while you are using it and when it is in storage.








Mice are attracted to warm, dry places and food, even small crumbs. Don't let them make a home out of your travel trailer. A mouse only needs a tiny opening to get into your trailer and once inside, it can wreak havoc, chewing up paper, gnawing on electrical cords and leaving telltale droppings. By following a few steps and securing your travel trailer to prevent unwanted intrusions, you can avoid annoyance the annoyance of having to deal with invading mice and spend your time enjoying your travel trailer.


Instructions


1. Remove all consumables from your travel trailer. Dump trashcans and clean out the refrigerator. Wipe down kitchen counters and clean out the cabinets, wiping them down with a damp rag to remove any crumbs.


2. Place dryer sheets around your travel trailer. Leave them on the counters and in cabinets as well.


3. Inspect underneath your travel trailer for small openings. Mice can get into tiny places, so any openings you see should be stuffed with brass wool.


4. Place mousetraps on the floor of your travel trailer, especially in dark corners and under furniture.


5. Place 1/16-inch fiberboard over any electrical access panels. Mice often enter a travel trailer through the electrical access panel, so boarding it up prevents that.
