Tips On How To Keep Mice Out Of RV

By Ruth Wood


Places where human beings live in are known to attract other living creatures most notably rodents. This is mainly because of the availability of warmth and constant supply of food among other necessities. However, these creatures are known to cause a lot of discomfort or may even lead to outbreaks of diseases related to them. Below is a guide on how to keep mice out of RV.

What attracts mice the most is the availability of food. They can therefore be easily eliminated by getting rid of this food and ensuring they have nothing to feed on. The most appropriate way of undertaking this is ensuring that all the waste food is well disposed. The storage areas should also be well closed to avoid their access. Sealed dustbins are very effective for disposing the left overs.

Despite all the efforts to dispose all the food waste, some may end up falling on the ground. Others may end up spilling in the storage cabinets without the knowledge of the inhibitors. Constant cleaning is therefore advised. This should be carried out at least weekly. The cleaning should concentrate on areas that are known to attract dirt, especially the kitchen and dining area.

There must exist some openings in the RV for the mice to find their way in. These openings may include broken drainage pipes, sockets just to mention a few. To ensure that these openings to not serve as an entrance for the rodents, they should be completely sealed up once they are noticed. Broken items should also be replaced to avoid them ending up as the residence of the rats.

Mobile trailers are known to move from one place to another. They therefore end up being parked in many different locations. As a prevent measure, the owners should avoid dirty and bushy areas. This is because such areas are likely to be the dwelling places of rats. It is also advisable to first clean, the location before parking.

In case the rats are already present in the mobile vehicle, traps may be used to catch them. These traps are placed in areas where they hide in especially the storage places. Preventive measures should however be upheld to avoid accidents arising especially if children are around. The users are also advised to check them regularly or change their locations with time for better results.

Rodent poison has been among the oldest method to fight them. The poison is placed on the foods that the rats feed on. It is made in a way that it attracts them. This should be an option where the mice infestation seems to be beyond control. Constant cleaning, however, has to be carried to eradicate the already dead ones.

An effect caused by these inhibitors is eating clothes. They will therefore hide in closets or suitcases where clothes are being kept. To keep them out in such a case, moth balls should be used. These balls are made to emit a pungent smell that repels them away. They greatly help in eradicating them and can also be placed in drawers and under the pillows.
