As a side note to the above critter issues, we've used "Bay Leaves" to keep the ants away in our sticks & bricks with great success. . . .

I agree with everything you said, hence the title “Possible Victory”. We are not completely out of the woods yet. I am cautiously optimistic though and keeping a close eye on things. The critters tend to infiltrate in both fall and spring On a brighter note, later today we’re going to make reservations for Memorial Day weekend camping. Yaaaaa!

Positive update! Picked up the trailer yesterday. Lots of evidence that mice were in the surrounding area, but no droppings found in the trailer. Have to conclude that the essential oil (balsam or peppermint) works to deter entry. The copper mesh is intact and is reusable. In fact, given the point made above re: timing of intrusion, early spring activity, we’re just leaving it in place. There’s certainly room in the hose entry port for the mesh to share the space with the hose. I’m anxious to purchase and install some of the mesh vent covers mentioned in another thread.
We sprayed the essential oil on all the stabilizers, in openings under the slide, and around vent openings. Tossed oiled cotton balls in and behind all drawers and closets.

Most timely! The Battle Begins!
We have used the peppermint. I especially liked the spider traps someone mentioned, will look into that as we have a problem here in south central Texas with all manor of critters including spiders, scorpions, and fire ants. Found a black widow yesterday on our home front porch. We have 2 acres and have someones adjacent 5 acre property to ours that has never kept it maintained. Its all over grown to the point that you can't even walk through the property. All manor of critters live in there.
The critters are the only thing that really bugs me about living here in Texas (also the horrible drivers). I constantly have to fight off the critters, and ugly ones at that. Rattle snakes, corral snakes. We also have those big tarantula spiders, ugly suckers! It is the one thing that we will not miss about Texas when we go full time.Steve & Tami Cass - Escapee's, FMCA Members, Texas Fulltimers Since July 2020

Steve said, “ I especially liked the spider traps someone mentioned,”
That would be me, and I did see different sizes to choose from. Seems like the taller, triangular shaped ones would catch all those creepy crawlers you listed! Check Amazon - “sticky spider traps”.
