Hi Dave and Donna. We use all 3, dryer sheets all over the place including the outside storage. Cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil in a ceral bowl covered with saran wrap with fork holes poked in the saran, also all over the place. Plus outside on the ground I throw moth balls all around, with more around the tire's and front jack ( I don't lower my stab's over the winter.) Just finished winter #5 and so far no mice in the trailer. It is stored in a hoop barn in the country.. Lots of mice.. So far so good. ]]> Thu, 04 May 2017 06:03:46 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9875&PID=92617#92617 When in Storage : Thanks to All for the replies.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9875&PID=92570#92570 Author: Dave & Donna

+1 to Leo and jato, fill the hole and use dryer sheets, no mothballs, you could cause detector issues.]]> Wed, 03 May 2017 15:41:02 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9875&PID=92566#92566 When in Storage : We have stored our 177 in our... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9875&PID=92561#92561 Author: jato

We have stored our 177 in our horse barn since 2011 and there are plenty of mice around, the cats can't keep up!  Anyway we have always used a couple of dryer sheets, one on each end inside the pod on the floor and one on the mattress.  Also put steel wool in the 2 outlets where you heater is located.  Last year we purchased a screen cover for that so no steel wool is necessary anymore.  Never have had an issue with mice inside.]]> Wed, 03 May 2017 15:25:13 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9875&PID=92561#92561 When in Storage : We used some spray foam to help... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9875&PID=92548#92548 Author: Leo B

We used some spray foam to help seal some of the gaps underneath to help keep out the little visitors.]]> Wed, 03 May 2017 11:44:23 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9875&PID=92548#92548 When in Storage : I read somewhere that moth balls... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9875&PID=92542#92542 Author: john in idaho

I read somewhere that moth balls work.  And look around underneath and stuff steel wool into holes for pipes.]]> Wed, 03 May 2017 10:06:28 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9875&PID=92542#92542 When in Storage : We have the same situation with... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9875&PID=92529#92529 Author: ParPod

We have the same situation with our driveway and have to store our Pod outside the city.  We got a bag of rodent repellent pouches from our dealer and have placed a couple of them at various locations inside the Pod.  Seems to work - thus far no mice!]]> Wed, 03 May 2017 08:25:05 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9875&PID=92529#92529 When in Storage : Hello all!

Hello all! We are not " Allowed " to keep our Pod in our driveway for a extended time....Sooo, I've found a place to keep it when not in use! Not far from home but, in the country....Mice? I woke up thinking about this, read about it, bounce,peppermint oil,ect... Thought I'd ask the Pros!!

I'll say I'm sorry in advance! Not sure I put my post/questions in the right place....still learning!
