We have at least one mouse in the Entegra. How do you keep them out? I read about a spray that smells like peppermint. Keep Mice and Rodents out of your RV | Mouse Free

I hate having mice in the coach. Is there really any way to keep them out?

Dynamite works reeeeal good.

Ka Boom!!!!

Just Kidding. It's hard on the coach and don't try it at home.

Seriously.
We've try the dryer sheets, didn't work.
Bought some plug in things, seemed to work but couldn't verify.
They may have went away on their own or died of old age.

I have not read these yet but have read many in the past. I was hoping to hear from someone I "know" from this forum. So many things I have read about in the past have turned out to be BS. I have tried just about everything I have ever read about except this Mouse Free. We have not had good results from moth balls, cotton balls in peppermint....etc.

Same kind of deal with peoples ideas on keeping deer from eating plants around my house. Human hair, soap, none of that crap works. I found the answer and put in a 8' chain-link fence around my place. Now it looks like a prison but......

I HATE MICE IN MY RV!

Coincidently, they're a sponsor here at IRV2. Here's a few links to threads in this product. Maybe one of your friends posted there.

. Good luck.

We put moth balls in the basement of our last coach. Couldn't stand things that came out of it! We can still smell mothballs on our outside chairs. Maybe I threw in too many?

We had a mouse in our basement. My new record is under 20 minutes with a conventional mouse trap baited with peanut butter - get's them every time

X2. I only had one and it was gone quick.

Oil of Peppermint from a pharmacy. A drop on a cotton ball.

I soak cotton balls with oil of peppermint for the inside of coach & mouse free for the basement compartments. It worked for me haven't seen a mouse in 3 years. It does smells like a candy store, when it's been sitting awhile.

Here's what we use. No mice in house or shop ever. They do get one out side from time to time.

I had mice several years ago. Once we removed ALL food, no more mice problems. I also put bait blocks in the basement, but never had them come back once the food was removed. I also put dryer sheets in the drawer, but I don't know if that worked or not, but the drawers smelled nice.

We keep all of the MH food in a storage box that is kept in the house and move it to the MH when we leave. That solved our problem.

We live out in the country. Minimum lot size is five acres. My RV barn is just a pole barn. We have tried dryer sheets, moth balls, Fresh Cab and I promise there is zero food in our coach. For some reason none of the home remedies work for us. I'm going to spend the $200.00 and try the Mouse free.

Let us know how that works. My MH is also stored out in the country on a 37 acre fly in estate hanger (not mine, I rent space) with horses, feed and mice.
