How to Keep Mice and Rodents Out of Your RV

Rodents in your RV can cause serious damage to wiring, insulation, and stored food. Learning how to keep mice and rodents out of your RV helps protect your vehicle year-round—especially during storage.

Seal Off All Entry Points

Rodents can squeeze through openings as small as a dime. Inspect and seal:

  • Gaps around plumbing, wiring, and vents
  • Cracks under the chassis or slide-outs
  • Cabinet corners and under-sink areas

Use expanding foam or steel wool combined with sealant. Daisy RV offers rodent-proofing inspections and services.

Eliminate Attractants Inside

Keep your interior uninviting to pests by:

  • Removing all food, including dry goods and snacks
  • Vacuuming crumbs and wiping surfaces
  • Storing linens and paper goods in sealed containers
  • Using airtight totes for storage

A clean RV is your best first defense.

Use Repellents and Traps Strategically

Place deterrents in key areas:

  • Peppermint oil-soaked cotton balls
  • Ultrasonic rodent repellers
  • Snap traps or humane traps (especially near wheel wells and under sinks)

Knowing how to keep mice and rodents out of your RV saves you from costly electrical repairs and nasty surprises.
