battery powered sonic units are supposed to work

http://www.primrose.co.uk/outdoor-pest-repeller-rat-and-mouse-battery-powered-p-370.html

We had a problem with mice once but it was partly my own fault because unknown to me there were doggy chew sticks in one low cupboard and a cardboard shoe box in another under the seat with some news paper for lighting my barbecue. Of course it was a 5 star accommodation for the little bliters as they used the shoe box as a living room and the doggy chew sticks area as a dining compartment. I got rid of anything that was edible and nestible and due to our caravan being in storage I purchased a battery operated repeller as a decaying dead mouse in a trap would have probably attracted flies etc. so I decided to buy a rodent repeller as I didn't want to really to kill them really, just keep them at bay. In the last 3 years we have had no sign of any invasion of mice so this seems to have done the trick.

We have had the little critters 3 times now. we tried the sonic thingys - waste of money. They got chewed!

These worked for us;

We keep them in the van all year round - one in each bench locker and in every lower cupboard. they do exactly what it says on the tin, and the little critters usually expire in the box itself or near to it, so there is not need to hunt for the dead 'uns. we also keep a bait station under the van as well in the winter. All food in plastic boxes, keep everything scrupulously clean. No infestation this year (fingers crossed!) but one or 2 visitors.

Hiya, Cover any holes with zinc mesh , the smaller the better as mice have skulls that can fit through a hole the size of a pencil , make sure you close the flaps on your waste pipes and remove any food stuffs. we've had our van just short of 6 years and touch wood the only thing we've had is a harry the spider which wasn't a problem but upto now touch wood no mickey's or minnies and we keep our van in storage out in the open with a few hundred others round it . hope this helps.
