Rodent Deterrent?

All,

Thanks for your inputs. *The trailer is a "Swan", which is a
clamshell, fiberglass top, trailer that looks a bit like an older
Cobra or Komet. *The only place I think they could get in is at the
rear where the top comes down on the tailgate. *Not sure if that is a
tight, i.e., smaller than a mouse, seal or not. *If that is the
opening, I'll have to see what can be done to make it tighter. *Don't
think hardware cloth is the answer in this case.

While I do enjoy the new trailer, I guess it has a fault: *It makes a
nice mouse home. *While my old trailer had several faults, I can't
blame it for attracting rodents. *Heck, it probably repelled them with
its sheer ugliness. *Since it wasn't very weather tight, with large
gaps between the rear (and only) door and the trailer frame, and could
have allowed LARGE critters in, I'm kind of surprised this never
happened when I had that trailer. *Guess it was too ugly outside and
too cold inside. *I guess the little furries didn't find it as
attractive as the nice new Swan.

Wish I could live where the trailer could stay inside a nice building
and my wife's pets could keep the unwanted critters at bay. *But it
stays tied down outside.

Thanks,

Ray

Probably the main reason they didn't get into your old trailer is
because you didn't leave food in the glider. Thats a sure fire mouse
invitation.

Park your empty trailer on some nice bright concrete on a sunny day
and get in and close it up. Then, just look around for all the light
leaks to find where the little *******s are getting in. A bright
spotlight inside on a dark night will work too. You might be
surprised when you really start looking. It only takes one tiny
opening and a reason and they will TRASH everything! Dont get me
started!

Is your old trailer available?
