Mice got into our garage recently and chewed a nice big hole in our porch awning (see post on here).  We have managed to get it repaired.

Got rid of pesky field mice with POISON and traps baited with kit kat. Worked a treat -  No sign of them since but have left the traps in place.  Hubby tried to hit one with a lump hammer - without success!! (Traps bought on Ebay for less than £1.50)

Know of someone who had extensive damage to a static van with field mice - all upholstery and electrics chewed and large nests built over the Winter months.  An awful mess and the smell was enough to knock you over.  As said above, it seems you may have got off lightly.

We leave poison in the locker over the Winter in a little plastic tray - just in case. (Van in storage surrounded by farmland). 

Hi, It seems a lot of people have recommended chocolate which is great on traps.  Should you find you have a clever mouse that is able to remove the chocolate, try spreading a little peanut butter on the trap, much more difficult for them to remove leading to a greater catch rate.

Good luck and don't forget to set a couple of traps inside your caravan - just in case.

If you think mice are bad...imagine lying in bed and feel something crawl over your shoulder. On examination it was an earwig and on opening cupboards I found thousands of them. I killed what I could with a rolled up newspaper but coudn't get rid of all of them. I finally got shut when I released one of those greenhouse bombs which kills pests.
