Physical barriers will discourage the mice from entering. What is the best barrier to keep mice out? Hands down, the best barrier is plain old steel wool (The wood stripping steel wool not the pots and pans cleaning wool). Mice will not chew through steel wool. This can be purchased at any hardware store.
The best way to apply the wool is to plug up any holes or areas where the mice enter with the wool and then seal that area off. Then on the outside of your RV, try to see how the mouse entered. If you can find any holes or nooks where they entered, plug it up with the steel wool as well.
Using Smells and Noises
Some of the most common scents to use are Irish Spring Bar Soap, peppermint oil, mothballs, dryer sheets and pine needle oil or spray. These scents can be place strategically around your coach ward off the pests. Keep in mind that scents are just a deterrent and mice are crafty. You need to make sure the scent is fresh, well placed and that you follow up with a physical barrier.
