If You Sealed Your Camper and Still Found Droppings in Spring, Here Are the 3 Reasons Mice Still Get In, and the Closing-Day Step That Covers the Spots You Can't Seal

  • Reason 1: It's usually not the gaps you sealed. It's the ones you can't reach.
  • Reason 2: Most fixes are made for a house, where somebody's home to check them.
  • Reason 3: Put something in the spots you can't seal.

The problem usually isn't where you looked.

You sealed the door, the vents, every seam you could see. That's real work, and you should keep doing it. But the gaps that let mice in are usually the ones you can't see: under the skirt, around the plumbing, up in the wet bay.

Signs they got past your sealing:

Mouse droppings in an RV kitchen drawer

Droppings in a drawer or along the back of a cabinet

Chewed paper napkins on a cabinet shelf

Chewed napkins, paper or insulation

A nest of insulation in an RV storage bay

A nest somewhere you didn't expect

Most fixes were made for a house.

In a house, somebody's home every day. Traps get emptied. A cotton ball on the counter sits where you can see it.
In a stored rig, nobody's home. Traps only work if somebody empties them. Peppermint on a cotton ball sits on the counter, nowhere near where they come in.

Plenty of owners swear by dryer sheets. Some open up to find the mice made a nest out of them.

Put something right where they come in.

That's what FUGELYN RV Mouse Repellent Pouches are for. Three plant oils, peppermint, cinnamon and castor, held in a mineral base. It's a repellent, not a killer.

It puts a strong scent in the spots where you place it, and mice don't like to settle where that smell is. The base is mineral, not corn cob, so there's no food in the fill.

Seal what you can. Cover what you can't.

Goes where sealing can't. Under the skirt, the wet bay, the bays, the back of the cabinets.

Nothing to bait or empty. No traps, no poison, nothing dying in a wall.

No power needed. Nothing to plug in, which matters at a storage lot with no power.

Packs sized by rig. Camper, travel trailer, Class C, or an RV plus a tow vehicle or trailer.

"I like to prevent access and have covered every opening I can find. Problem is I can't find them as well as the rodents!"
My Grand RV forum
"We have tried all.... including the steel wool blocking any "known" holes and they still find their way in."
Forest River Forums
"…which for me included getting underneath with spray foam three times, because the critters kept getting in."

"Last yr after it was removed from storage and before the first trip, mice built a nest inside the generator windings.The generator had to be removed and repaired.This yr they built a nest inside the exhaust system. No damage, but what a stink when I fired up the engine."

"…Since my coach is kept at a storage lot with no power, next to a wooded area."

Any last questions?

I've tried pouches like these before. Why would these work?

These have a mineral base, not corn cob, so there's no food in the fill. They also aren't meant to work alone: seal every gap you can reach, then put a pouch in each spot you can't.

Mice chewed through the last pouches I used. Will they chew these?

We can't promise a mouse will never bite one. Here's what's in it: three plant oils in a mineral base. There's no corn cob and no food in the fill.

Nobody's at my camper all winter. Does that matter?

Nothing plugs in and nothing needs emptying, so there's nothing to check on while you're gone. Seal what you can reach, and put pouches in the spots you can't.

Dryer sheets work for me. Why add these?

Plenty of owners swear by them, and they may be working for you. You don't have to stop. These pouches go in the spots a sheet can't sit.

Will my camper smell like peppermint?

You'll notice it when you open a cabinet. That's the point. If the smell bothers you, put the pouches in the bays and the spots you don't sit near.

Is it safe around my dog and my grandkids?

Use them as directed. Keep them out of reach of kids and pets, the same as anything with essential oils.

Does it kill mice?

No. It's a repellent. It doesn't kill mice, so there's nothing dying in a wall you can't get to.

I store a tow vehicle or an enclosed trailer too. Can I use them there?

Yes. The Largest Pack is sized for an RV plus a tow vehicle or trailer. Put a few pouches inside each one.

Which pack do I need?

Pick the one named for your rig. Camper Pack is for a small camper or van. Travel Trailer is for a trailer or fifth wheel. Class C Pack is for a Class C motorhome. The Largest Pack is for an RV plus a tow vehicle or trailer.

Can I cancel the subscription?

Yes. You can cancel anytime.

What's the guarantee?
