Tips On RV Pest Control

By Helen Baker


The best way to control any infestation is by prevention. When one has a mobile home, it is quite a task to control the pests. Therefore, by making the environment not hospitable, the pests find it hard to infest. In a scenario where there is already an infestation, there are some ways to flush out and kill the pests. The following is a guide to RV pest control.

The RV has many openings in and out of the vehicle. These include windows, exhaust, sewage hoses, power cords even water piping. These opening provide entry points to the vehicle and. To avoid this, there was a critter guard invented that avoids the entry of any pests. It is made by a curved section of the hose that collects water or oil and creates an impassable barrier to the insects.

In the exterior compartments, one can use traps and baits to trap or kill the mice or the flying insects. Using poison is quick dangerous especially to those who have pets and small children to around the RV. In order to avoid poisoning of kids and pets, the traps and baits are a much safer to use.

Use of aerosols or chemicals to spray around and in the vehicle helps to kill and repel the bugs away. This kills the flying and crawling insects too. By spraying outside, it keeps off the pest off the area he RV is parked and restrict access to the crawling insects to coming near or in the vehicle.

One can also employ of other repellents like ointments that can be applied in any entry point to keep the pests. An example is the pepper mint ointment that produces an odor that irritates the mice and rats and if they come into contact, they tend to be scratchy. This helps keep the pests away from entry points.

In a more traditional way, one can use animals to control the pest. They are much more safe and effective in the prevention of infestation. A cat or dog can be good enough to chase away or killing mice and rats in the vehicle. Some birds used as pest can be used to control most crawling and flying insects in the vehicle. This may a good way to allow the nature take its course by way of animals killing each other for food thus gaining balance.

There also some genius ways that have been invented to keep away mostly flying insects. Some detergents used to wash clothes and wiping the surfaces. They repel such insects from landing or crawling on them. This helps in keeping the bugs away from inside the compartments.

There is usually some pest repellents that are electronically controlled. When they are plugged in a source of electricity, they generate sounds at very high frequencies that repel away the mice and other insects. There also some applications that can be installed in phones or devices and they serve a similar purpose. Some use static electricity to attract and electrocute to kill the insects.
