Put a couple traps out Friday morning more out of curiosity then caught one and noticed droppings that I'm sure had been there a while

Get those little green pellets from the hardware store and put them inside and outside the building. Within a few weeks all the poison will be gone along with the mice. Reload the pellets when gone.

A cat but that is hit or miss. Some cats will eat them and others just play with them and let them go.

Or a rat terrier.

plenty glue traps with bit of pnut butter and a piece of cheese. keep them agains the walls. snap traps scare others away. i mastered this shite from several military base housing. do this a while before sealing them out.

A litter of barn cats is the best solution.


Have those little knuckleheads treated for fleas and they'll do the trick.


We used to live near a cane field growing up and we'd get mice like a mofo during grinding. My parents got a couple cats and drastically reduced the mice.

Bonus fun fact: My parents always kept boxes of cereal in the fridge because of the mice and how the boxes don't really close. I was around 12 before I realized that keeping cereal in the fridge was not a common thing.

I read something about dryer sheets keeping them away, seems ridiculous but has anyone heard of this also?

For what it's worth, many years ago I had a problem with mice in a motorhome. Did everything I could think of...helped, but didn't eliminate them. Went on for months.

One day, I noticed that baits were suddenly untouched, and absolutely no sign of mice.

Months later, I'm getting into a side compartment to get an extra garden hose. I kneel down, unlock and open the small access hatch, and AAARRRGH! A giant frickin' anaconda king-cobra motherfricker is staring me in the face inches from my nose!!! Dropped a couple hershey squirts in my drawers as I rolled backwards screaming like a little bitch.

After regaining my composure and looking around to see if anyone saw me act like that, I took another look and it was a little rat snake coiled up in the garden hose, looking contented and well-fed.

Shrugged, left him alone and didn't have any mouse issues for at least a couple years.

Put out sticky traps/paper all around the outside of your trailer. Burn down the trailer. As it burns the mice will run out and get stuck the paper.

Win/win. You kill the mice and get a doublewide.
