What is your go to mouse repellent

Joined the mouse club last weekend, one of the little buggers came in through the curbside hose port in the front bay and played around in the drawers adjacent to the frig, bad on me as I accidentally left the port open.

Pulled out the drawers and installed thin plywood which will hopefully stop any more of their ilk coming in from the storage bay.

While I was at it, I modified the door sealed shut in front of the water heater, added a shelf to store a few more things.

I also moved the electrical outlet powering the water heater, making it easier to use in case I need another outlet in the storage bay.

sorry about the photos being sideways.

The hole that was sealed off may have been the cold air return for the furnace.

Regular Bounce dryer sheets have worked well for us. My rig stays outside all the time, and we live on a farm with plenty of all kinds of critters to go around.
Tried generic dryer sheets once, and they didn't work at all. Bounce seem to work. Change them out twice a year, and so far so good.

John - I agree with Colan's comment that you most likely sealed off the cold air return for the furnace. On our 303 and most other GDRV models, there is an opening under the middle area of the hutch and when the furnace fan runs you can even feel the air movement from the kitchen/LR into the basement through this opening. Yes, you still have the small opening behind the toilet for cold air return for the bedroom and bath area but shutting off the air for the kitchen/LR area could impact furnace performance or worse. You may want to check this out and if you do not another opening large enough for the kitchen/LR you may be OK If not, using a screen/mesh type covering which will keep out the critters but allow air flow could be an option.

Bonide brand Mouse Magic has been the cure for me in our current trailer. The mouse magic smells like a big pack of spearmint gum, it's not so irritating to the nose errr people noses. Bonide also has a liquid and granular product, the name escapes me at the moment, but I sprinkle this all around the trailer, especially where there is a point of contact with the ground. And sticky traps if they get in.

We pick up our new Imagine 2970RL the 16th of March. With our new rig it will be doing anything possible to keep them from getting in in the first place.

I've found the sticky traps don't work well in cold weather as they become less sticky with the cold.
