Hi . Happy new year to all.
just been down to caravan storage to make sure all was ok.all seemed fine. we decided to bring home our new bargain continental quilt from argos.as i pulled it out from under the seat i noticed a hole thought perhaps we had caught it on some thing when we last used, WRONG there inside the quilt curled up a dead mouse.so now gotta bring back the cushions incase of other rodents then find out where it got in.will have to bring home when roads clear and clean out. i hate rodents make my skin crawl.

you are lucky really as they can do a lot of damage to the seats.buy some moth balls and place round openings in the floor. ------------- the only silly question is the one you do not ask.

Whenever I get a new caravan, I make a point of sealing up all the cable glands where wires come through from the underneath with silicon sealer. (Obviously I do not seal any vents underneath, in any case these normally have mesh secured over them.) We always have field mice around, so it is a very necessary precaution.

Be aware that if you have found one mouse, as they are very social creatures, there are probably others!

We picked up some wildlife a few weeks back. If you do a search on here for mic there are all sorts of recommendations! We now have a sonic mouse zapper thing to keep the critters out (seems to work I think, makes me feel better anyway) and we always leave mouse killer bait stuff in Bertha after a trip, And check for dead 'uns regularly.

You can probably never stop them completely if they want to get in! (who would blame them in this weather! lol) Put couple of mouse traps down.
