My question is: Did you have rodents BEFORE you used whatever you're using ? If so, than I would think it works, but if you use certain products for prevention, it doesn't mean you had rodents to begin with !
I put elephant repellant all around my house, here in Virginia. I haven't had one elephant come anywhere near to my house, ever!

Drenjoey, we have had mice and small squirrels in our last TT and lots of mice in a 115 year old house but since we started using the orthro animal be gon none in the new TT and almost none in the house. So I think it really does send them to other places. You still need to block the easy access route and keep grass,weeds,leaves down to make it less likely to provide cover for them to look for egress into your property.

Where I park when I had my coach, three other vehicles had damage to their wiring and nests built. I was real liberal with the peppermint oil, no issues with mice/rats. After fixing wiring harness in my truck from the chewing, started spraying peppermint oil in the truck as well, no new signs from rodents.

Nice to hear from folks who had rodents problems and actually found an effective solution to get rid of them.
We just bought a Roo 23WS and sure don't want rodents in there. This is why I'm looking for the most effective solution....since we have to leave the mattresses in there for the coming winter.

My 2011 Wildcat had mice under the bathroom sink.
I got a can of Expanding Insulation foam, and crawled under the trailer and found some open spaces behind the bumper. The foam is easy to use just don't over due it or you will have to trim off the excess. My unit also had some extra space around the front landing gear legs. Fill any suspicious openings under the bottom along the sides ect. It stopped the critters from getting into my trailer. Hardware stores and Home building stores stock it for around six bucks a can
