Well crap, on our first camping outing here in a state park near KC and woke up this morning to hear a little scurry in one of the overhead cabinets followed by a object running down to drapes to dissapear somewhere around the dinette seats. Checked the overhead caninets shere we keep the bread and chips. It made a mess of the brand new loaf of bread and nibbled on a buffalo tortilla chip but might have been too hot for himlol. Anyhow, not found with camping with mice. We're planning on getting more traps when we go to town. Also thinking of sonic repellants also, but seeming to be mix reviews with them. See where we store the motorhome is next to a corn field so I'm not real confident of keeping them out there, but when we bring the coach back to the house a few days before the trip for staging is when I hope to get rid of them. I was hoping that driving it around would freak them out and they would scurry away at the first stop light, but it seems they're just content on hunkering down and partying later at the campsite. First time for this in all the times we've camped these past years. Just looking for ideas to kid rid of them in the few days we have it at our house as we stage up.

Thanks Jon, went and got those kind of mouse traps this morning. Already had a couple in the motorhome but the Orkin site said the more set the better chances. Something tells me this little guy is smarter than the typical mouse but I might be having a bit of the Caddy Shake syndrome here LOL.
Thanks again!

I think the best use of time is to find the source of entry!
I did some rewiring last spring and had issues with mice afterwards... It amazed me how easily (and quickly!) they could get in. But I found later that I had dislodged a rubber grommet in the dash - up high, behind the glove box.
I filled the hole with some steel wool and pushed the grommet back in. Seems OK now - but the proof will be this season...
