Critters In The Rv Options

[RLM]

When preparing for a recent trip, I had the pleasure of confronting a non-poisionous 5 foot snake who decided it would be warm and toasty inside of my rig. It has since gone to snake heaven. At the first campground, I found that five small mice had set up their own camp in our pots and pan drawer. They too have gone to their respective heaven.

Since I live in Texas where toting a firearm is in the American spirit, I could sit outside the rig and work on improving my shot to kill ratio, but I'd prefer something less labor intensive.

Does anyone have any FULL PROOF suggestions on how to keep mice and snakes and like critters out of a rig when it's parked for awhile?

RLM: How about this??? "It takes a Maine Winter!"

Two years ago, we stopped for several days at a nice state park in northern South Carolina. We awakened one morning to find all our interior walls COVERED with ants! Millions of them! We slapped and sprayed and sprayed and sprayed...and prayed and prayed and prayed. To no avail. We arrived home in late June, closed up the trailer, hoping for the best. We headed out for Nova Scotia again in late August. The ants were still there in full force! We sprayed and prayed and sprayed and prayed, etc., etc.

I thought we'd have to torch the RV to get rid of them....but, low-and-behold, the Maine winter did them in!! Not an ant in sight the next April when we headed out again for Southern climes...nor have any been seen since. Thank you Tor the Snow God!


So....how about this???? Visit northern New England in late September and leave your RV here for the winter. I assure you, no mice, pythons, rattlers, black widows, or other undesirables you might transport will be waiting for you when you return in May. And just F.Y.I., temps here tonight are expected to be -5 to -10....with wind chills tomorrow in the range of -30 below. Lots of snow and terrific skiing!

Just a thought (and just joking). MaineDon

p.s. We are headed to NM and AZ in April/May...passing through northern Texas on the way. Any suggestions of good places to stay? Just an overnight or two........

Oh MaineDon...I forgot about the ants! These bad boys (Moab, Utah) treked right across the 'boundries of borax (around the leveler pads and tires) that was supposed to be a repellant.
Had to stoop to a 'Raid-type' spray ring around everything touching the ground...AND...a foot band up the tree trunks at our site.
In an RV park: its every man for themselves. Don't have to kill the varmits...just make your rig less appealing!
