I have used dryer sheets for years and have never had mice, plus we sprinkle moth balls and comet around all tires.

No bounce sheets do not work on mice or ants!
Get one of those electronic plug in things and it will keep them out of your trailer. We have used those for years! Get a good one from a honest site or store.

We have used them ever since we have had campers. also use urnal pucks
I place 1 of the pucks on the landing gear pads.(outside). Found out they work and last longer then moth balls. We just put in 120 Bounce
sheets in our 11 StoneRidge,and 4 pucks outside.

I wish I had come out with some of this stuff. Electronic pest eliminators, deer whistles...Scientifically proven that they do do nothing! The fact that you have never had mice in not because you use this thing.

What they will help with is dogs that over react to lighting storms, when it first clouds up, rub the dog down. Now it will do nothing for a dog that reacts to the thunder, but my guess is it reduces the static electricity in the air, thus the dog does not get as upset.

Mice don't like the smell of peppermint so some folks use peppermint oil soaked cotton balls. Years ago I used a peppermint spray around the tires of my motorhome and don't recall any mouse visitations after doing that. However, that was many years ago and I haven't been able to find the spray anymore.
I have a fifth wheel now and noticed there's quite a space where the slide out hydraulic rams enter the underbelly, making a perfect mouse entryway. If I'm parked in a rustic area that may contain mice I stuff rags in those spaces to block the way. It appears to be effective but I have to remember to remove the rags before retracting the slides.
