Re: storage/ mice
Here's a couple of suggestions and I hope they help...
A tip I got from my friends who had a mouse sneak in and it died. They used an ionizer to neutralize the air until that lil' varmint’s odor was gone. Perfumes will mask the odor, but an ionizer will clean the air removing the odor. And of course you'd remove the body..."if" you can find it. Then you can use a pet stain remover that the "enzymes" will eat the bodily fluid stain removing all signs of that varmint.
This is a MUST HAVE and I speak from personal experience... PEST OFFENSE!! Will include a couple of experiences I've had using this device and if you're not interested in reading can bypass, but do get the Pest Offense for both your home AND your RV!!
If you have electricity - key word "electricity" as you must be plugged in...would your storage area allow you to plug in??...regardless this product is a MUST HAVE because you will plug in at some point. I swear by this and IT WORKS for mice, rats, and roaches (other things too, but these are the main concern)!! They say you buy the worst house in the best neighborhood you can afford. I did!! BEFORE moving in the condo was SERIOUSLY INFESTED with roaches. I plugged in a "PEST OFFENSE" and went back home to my CLEAN apartment and waited. HONEST TO GOD - The 1st week I checked in at the condo to find roach bodies. Checked back a few weeks later to find a whole lot more roach bodies. I waited two months for that "PEST OFFENSE" to THOROUGHLY do its job. THEN I began the renovating doing the bathroom 1st and then I moved in. I lived in that condo for 10 years and from the time I plugged in the "PEST OFFENSE" (starting after that two month pre-move-in time) until I sold and moved I saw maybe 2 roaches. "PEST OFFENSE" WORKS!!
The reason I had bought the Pest Offense in the first place was because before the condo I lived in a really, really old little house in the rear /studio and the neighborhood had rats. I plugged the Pest Offense in and it kept them from invading my living space.
The Pest Offense sends a signal throughout your home's electrical wires, which is like turning up the stereo sooo loud you just don't want to be there. It’s silent to humans and doesn’t bother most animals like cats and dogs (ask Pest Offense about critters like hamsters, gerbils, etc.). I’ve had cats this whole time without incident. You don't have the problems of pesticides or insecticides or chemicals.
And yes, STEEL WOOL is another MUST HAVE as it's the only thing rodents can't chew through. So, plug up them thar plumbing holes!! At the stables, where mice can be a problem, we use galvanized trash cans to store grain /food for the horses because mice can’t get into those kinds of trash cans. Not that you’ll have a horse when RVing, but maybe…some people do trailer their big critters (or an idea for storing warehouse grocery shopping).
Good luck!!
