None so far. Wife keeps running around spraying critters with these hippie healing oils of peppermint. Makes them critters get all crazy.

I love baby red potatoes boiled with the skins on and 1 or 2 fresh peppermint leaves in the pan. Gives them a delicious but not minty taste. Another to try is sweet corn on the cob slow (4 to 5 hrs) cooked in water with 4-6 leaves.

How you eat your mouse is your own business. Mine, all I need is ketchup. Don't need no peppermint leaves. Too fancy for me.

Your wife must be awful quick to run them down and spray them. LOL.

Hope PETA doesn't read that post. You may come home to a couple of teenage floosies dressed in mouse costumes camped out in your front yard

Bring em on. The bears around here love them some young protestor steaks. Supposed to taste like veal. Or was it baby seal.... can't remember

So, here's how it turned out for us. We used dryer sheets, Cab Fresh, and peppermint oil the inside, and fox urine on the blocks supporting TT on the outside. Mice = 0, nada, nothing for the first time since 1998 when we got our first TT. Can't be happier.

How long are dryer sheets effective? I would think they would loose their punch after a while.

I went around the bottom of ours yesterday with spray foam, but honestly couldn't see a whole lot of places where they could get in. The largest opening was at the dump valves. Besides that, not much else. Ours has the 4 seasons package with the underbelly insulation that seems to seal off a good majority of the coach.

No mice in 9 years. Or squirrels, rabbits, moles, or birds. He even tried to take on a groundhog once but that did not work out well. Look at the tip of his left ear LOL.

The scent of the dryer sheets last all winter, just not as strong. Essence of peppermint is diluted. Make sure that you get 100% pure peppermint oil though it will be more expensive.

I heard that if you turn on all the lights and open the cabinets at night and crawl under the TT then you will see where there are open places. But this doesn't work if you have an enclosed underbelly. I tried it 3 yrs ago when we got our new TT/

Looks like he had a bit of a battle with Mike Tyson?

Lol........meet Mr Nuts..........you can figure it out from there......pics would be in bad taste. He is one heck of a rodent control officer though.

I think it was Punxsutawney Phil he tangled with.

I was going to add, get a active cat but Mr Havercamp covered it. We have 2 cats, one big boy, about 22# just lays around like a slug, the other little girl is on the prowl all the time, she would nail any mouse, we used to have a 25# male Siamese that really kick some butt but he was very laid back.

Just wondering where you keep the litter box?

[BooBoo23]

We keep the litter box alongside the rear door.
