If your caravan is stored for the winter months a few mothballs in the gas locker and in floor level cupboards goes some way to deter mice from entering your caravan where they will be capable of a tremendous amount of damage to furnishings etc.

Mice also think that mothballs smell awful.

Jimbob,

so do lots of other things but moth balls are very useful. There have been quite a few posts on this forum reporting mice damage. My caravan is stored at home but i still use them during the winter.

Good luck. JTS.

Having looked at this am currently using mothballs to deter the little furry things from going into our garage and thinking of putting them in the caravan as well but what about the smell,dont mind a pong in the garage but not too keen on sleeping with the same smell

I take the moth balls out of the 'van and put them into the front locker when leaving the storage site. By the time we get to wherever we are going the smell has gone.

Thanks for that,if its that quick I'll start using them,thought the smell might have lingered longer than that

I use moth balls all year round, just chuch a few under the beds and in top lockers and wardrobes, anywhere that the smell can't get to food.

Am I the only forum member who actually likes the smell of mothballs?

Hi there

I put the mothball in old used smelley things that wife gets to go around the house. Once used up cut a small hole just big enough for the mothballs to be pushed in about five then place them around caravan. When its time to use caravan collect up and place in old large icecream container seal lid place in front locker to be used on retain. Job Done.
