We have been invaded! Never before in 15 years of motorhoming have we EVER had any mice in the coach. I mentioned about a month ago, Bert, our cat, found a mouse in the middle of the night, and how I ran right out and bought a ton of traps. About a week went by before we caught one mouse in a trap. Thought the problem was solved, although we did leave the traps set just in case. At least 3 weeks have gone by, and we caught another mouse two nights ago, hmmmmmm.
Well, last night as Jan and I are watching TV, Bert goes crazy and runs by us into the bedroom with a MOUSE in his mouth. Of course he doesn't kill it, brings it back in the living area, releases it beside one of the couches to play with it, and the mouse disappears under the couch. We poke and prod and look and look and set 2 more traps in under the couch, and wonder what is going on? This morning we have 2! mice caught in the traps in the basement. ACCKKKKK!
We have no idea where they are coming from, do we have a whole colony living with us, how do we keep them out, can we repel them, etc, etc?????????
Any ideas, anybody???????

Well, you can't complain about life being dull or boring with all the "now what?" moments! Be glad you have Bert! At least when we encounter the problems we will know who has found the answers. Ok, not much of a silver lining for you but it works for me. Hahaha
Thanks for all the "help" in this matter. We will be very glad to share whatever we figure out to deal with these critters!

I think its time to get Bert a new buddy to help him with the mice!!!

Poison in the Basement? Plug any small openings with steel wool. So there! ;-)
@Sandra,
That's a good idea except for one small problem, no more cats, although Jan did mention maybe we do need to have another cat after Bert goes. Good one.
@Nancy,
Those are two good ideas. Except the poison, when we lived in NH we put out poison for some rodents that had gotten in the house. One of them ended up dying in Jason's wall! The stink was with us for weeks. Seriously, we can't even figure where they are coming from. The two that Bert got came out from under the dash. We are looking for holes.
