Mice.

Post by King Kenny »

Today I found evidence of mice in my camper. They built a nest in the glove box and nibbled a hole in the curtain I had on the rear seat. I have put a poison block in the cab but wondered what you do to keep the little darlings away from your van.

i woud suggest a old fashioned metal trap ( not one of those "mamby-pamby" plastic ones ) and a chunck of marsbar and check it at least twice daily for a week.
poison is ok, but they die and rot in the van somewhere.

as for stopping them getting in, make sure there is fine mesh over all gas drop out vents and any hole bigger than a biro , and that includes wiring grommets from the fusebox out to the headlights, speedo cable ect .
