Video Transcript for “Mouse & Rodent-Proofing Your Camper | Pete's RV Quick Tips”
Randy: Hey folks, Randy with Pete’s RV TV here today, another quick tip segment with
Pete’s RV. Does your camper look like this when you put it away for the winter or if
you’re going to be gone out of it for a long time? You got the fabric dryer sheets,
14 box of those, 100 mouse traps set up? I tell you there’s a new product out there
that will alleviate you having to do this and it’s a great new product and I love
to see it here at Pete’s RV Center. It’s called Mouse Free. What this is, is
actually something that we apply to the under carriage of the coach. We apply it to the
frame and the areas where the wires and the gas lines may go up into the coach, where
the mice tend to get in. What this stuff is, is it’s a non-toxic, it’s a self-lubricating
spray. It’s got a bunch of essential oils in it. Now mice are nocturnal so they use
their noses to get themselves around at night where they can’t see in their search for
food. So what this is it’s got a lot of spearmints and peppermints, and things like
that, things that mice do not like to smell. They also don’t like to get this product
on their feet. Now with the bounce dryer sheets, you know
the, the odor goes out of those fairly quickly. I know when I open up rigs in the spring time
you can’t smell them anymore. Well, this is an essential oil, so the oil stays around
a long time. It doesn’t dissipate very quickly so it’s going to last a long time once we,
we apply it to the underbelly of the coach. Another great thing about the Mouse Free is
it comes with its own applicator, so with compressed air we would fill the cup and just
spray it along our I-beam frame, put a nice even coat on. Again, hit those parts where
the devices come up through the floor. Now there’s a lot more electronics in coaches
nowadays. There’s a lot of control wiring and things like that and if mice get in there
they can really cause thousands of dollars of damage very quickly, and when you go to
hook up to use this on your first vacation of the year, the last thing you want is to
find out that a mouse got in there and destroyed some of that wiring and you end up in the
service department because the slides won’t go out and the hot water heater doesn’t
work. Another real great place to use these is if
you got pop ups or hybrids. Those tents, $1,500 [02:00], $2,000 dollars a pop, and I have
seen many of them destroyed by mice. So by using the Mouse Free here the mouse are not
going to come in. It’s going to repel them and they are going to stay away from your
camper. So once again the Mouse Free can be purchased
at our Pete’s RV online store at petesrvparts.com. And also, come see us on our Facebook page.
We’ve always got a lot of great bit of information there, so I hope you learned something today,
hope you check out the Mouse Free. Now, don’t get caught in the trap and come to petesrvparts.com
