I had a real mouse/rat problem in my trailer parked at the lease. I put rat poison in and around and it killed a bunch of them, I guess. But they keep coming. Then I thought, why am I putting food in the trailer, by default inviting them in.
I tried everything. Stuff to keep them away, soap, mothballs, you name it.
Then I did this and it helped a LOT.
I looked into a Mouse Blocker, but the word on the street was they get used to the sound and it looses its effeteness.
My approach was three prong, 1) I installed a row of LED lights in the trailer and connected them to a photocell so the lights come on at dark (mice like it dark) and go off in the day. 2) I put a 12v mouse blocker in and connected it to the photo cell and it only runs at night. 3) I removed ALL bait or anything they might enjoy eating.
I have a solar panel to keep the battery charged. The LED's and the blocker use very little amps and the battery stays charged.
My rodent infestation went to near zero and since I have move the trailer to SE OK I have had 0 problems.

I am interested in this idea. A few LEDs hooked up to some power might be added to my list. I buy the large bag of Tomcat also and the chunk the cubes under the cabin. Inside I mount a few tomcat stations. Along the walls I put sticky pads. I killed many mice last year. My issue is with thumb size lil critters. I have heard that you can dump a few cats around the place and they will be fine. I worry about leaving them in west texas w out water.
Quick story. My place is not near anything. 100 miles from any real city. But one morning as we prepared to go hunt my buddy found a domestic house cat living under our cabin. He came home with him and lived out his years as a fat cat, but I still till this day dont know where he came from. This was during the winter months.
The cat Idea sounds great to me. I just dont know how it could survive in the summer.

I got some from amazon. Its not cheap, but it works and is well worth the expense to keep mouse turds out of the camper and keeping them from chewing stuff up.
