If you spot a mouse in your caravan, don't panic! There are a few things you can do to get rid of them quickly and safely. First, try to figure out how the mouse got into your caravan. Mice can squeeze through tiny cracks and holes, so check for any gaps around doors and windows. Once you've sealed up any openings, for extra protection, you should also set up an ultrasonic pest repeller. These devices emit high-frequency sound waves that pests can't stand, but which are harmless to humans and pets. With a little effort, you can keep your caravan mouse-free!

How to keep mice out of caravan

1. Keep Your Caravan Clean

One of the best ways to keep mice out of your caravan is to keep it clean. Mice are attracted to food sources, so if there is food left out or crumbs on the floor, they will be more likely to come in. Mice like to nest in warm, dark places, so a tidy caravan will be less inviting to them. Did you know that there are specific times of the day that they are most active? So make sure to sweep and vacuum regularly, wash any dishes that are left out, and make sure your caravan is clean the entire day!

2. Store Food Properly

Another way to prevent mice from getting into your caravan is to store food properly. Mice can smell food from a long distance away, so if you have food that is not properly sealed, they will be able to smell it and be attracted to it. Make sure to store all food in airtight containers, and do not leave any food out overnight.

3. Seal Up Any Cracks or Holes

Mice can squeeze through very small spaces, so it is important to seal up any cracks or holes that they might be able to get through. Check the outside of your caravan for any gaps or holes, and seal them up with caulk or steel wool. You should also check around windows and doors to make sure that they are properly sealed.

Most caravans have a front locker that is used for storing smaller items. However, these lockers can often have gaps that allow pests and other critters to enter the caravan. To help prevent this, it is a good idea to cover the gaps with fine mesh wire. This will allow air to circulate while keeping out unwanted guests. In addition, the wire can also be used to secure smaller items so that they don't become lost or scattered.

4. Use Stealthy 360 Degree Ultrasonic Pest Repeller

Ultrasonic pest repellers emit high-frequency sound waves that are designed to repel pests such as mice. These devices can be plugged into an outlet and placed around your caravan, which will help to keep mice away.


If you're looking for a safe and effective way to keep mice out of your caravan, look no further than the Stealthy 360 Degree Ultrasonic Pest Repeller. Using state-of-the-art ultrasonic sound waves, our device safely repels mice, rats, and other pests in the home without causing any harm to them. The repellers work by emitting a high-frequency sound that humans can't hear but is highly effective in deterring pests. Mice and rats are always on the lookout for a good place to set up shop. They prefer warm homes with easy access to not only food but also water, which they require in order to maintain their life-sustaining salt levels. However, with the Stealthy 360 Degree Ultrasonic Pest Repeller, you can rest assured that your caravan is free of these unwanted guests. Additionally, our repeller is also eco-friendly, making it the perfect choice for those who are looking for a green pest control solution. With its wide range of applications, the Envirobug 360-degree repeller is an ideal choice for those looking for an effective and versatile pest control solution.

5. Remove any cushions and bedding

If you’re going to be away from home for an extended period of time, it’s important to take some steps to prevent mice from moving in. One of the things you can do is remove any cushions and bedding from your furniture. Mice are attracted to warm, soft places, so they may be tempted to nest in these items if it’s cold outside.

7. Protect plastic pipework

One way to deter mice is to protect any plastic pipework with some kind of mesh. Mice seem to prefer plastic over metal, so this can help to keep them away from essential caravan components. Also, make sure all food is stored in metal containers rather than plastic. Mice can chew through plastic, but they can't gnaw through metal.

Summary

Mice in caravans can be a real problem. These furry pests can get into the caravan through tiny holes and cracks, and once inside, they can wreak havoc. Mice love to nest in soft materials like insulation, and they will also chew on wires and other caravan components. If you spot mouse droppings in your touring caravan, it's important to take action immediately.

While Envirobug 360-degree repellers are designed specifically to repel mice, rats and other rodents, customers have also had success keeping away a range of other small creatures including bugs, ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes and spiders. Please note: it's normal for pest activity to increase slightly after installation, as they are disturbed and looking for somewhere else to live. They will shortly go away!
