Hi

It appears I have just purchased a caravan and some sitting tenants.

The mouse has signs of mice, The prevois owners had the seats re covered and now I know why !

The ground sheet has been chewed to shreds, so about four weeks ago, a filled the caravan with mice traps, NO mice were caught, so thought they may have gone, been away in in twice since and no signs of them, left it for two weeks with traps and no mice caught but mouse poo all over !!!!!

Can anybody suggest what I can do to eradicate them !!!! 

Have a look at these posts Click_here .

Yes, I ve had chocolate, peanuts, and weetabix in the traps - and still nothing caught just poo all around them !!!!!

Mouse poison and then a sonic mouse deterrent.  Worked for us.

BTW with mouse poison, you won't get dead stinking corpses at some future point.  The poison contains formaldehyde which mummifies the corpse.

Hi,

Take care if you decide to use poison.  Some do contain a mummyfying agent but it takes a while to prevent the smell.  From my experience (some 14 years in pest control) you would be better off using your traps.  The "Little Nipper" ones are great with a large paddle for them to step on.  They do need setting at right angles to walls/skirting as this is where the mice run more.  You may find you catch them without even putting bait on them this way.  Bear in mind they MUST be eating something, remove this and install a number of traps.  A trapped mouse is far better than a poisoned one in my opinion.

Without causing alarm, I would take urgent action as the damage they can cause is remarkable, usually where you cannot see, behind wall boards, cables etc.

Good luck

Hi

When we had our trailer tent we used Bounce (fabric conditioner sheets) amongst the canvas apparently mice hate the smell.

My only worry and problem is that I have had traps down with various bait in and they are not getting caught....they poo all around them !!!!!
