I've heard Bounce sheets work well to keep mice out. My buddy gets 2 boxes and spreads them around his trailer every year at the farm and has never had a problem.

Ventilation is the key way to get rid of mothball smells. Get windows open, fans going, etc.

I tried moth balls in a shed, used a large box of them. Mice played a great game of soccer with them. Bought a trap they got into and could not get out of. Never had any more mice problems and no smell.

This topic scares me! It really is an issue? What about snakes, spiders, or other critters?

I used the Bounty sheets this year and saw no signs of any sort of critters. (i used the strongest scent i could find). We have some harsh winters here in Michigan and the critters will find anywhere out of the wind. They filled the shed next to our TT but did not touch the TT. We put them in the drawers and on the bed and in the nooks and crannies.
We changed them once in the middle of the winter and the camper smelled great inside.
As far as bugs go, the only problem we had was spiders up under the propane tank cover. we just put a couple flea collars attached to the canisters and no more bugs there. Figure I might throw a couple in the under storages also to see if it works there this summer.
Good Luck

I use bounce sheets too, they seem to work and when I get into the trailer, it smells nice....
I have constant mice in my garage, they don't seem to want to venture into the trailer in the yard... yet....
Dealing with them in the garage too, much to my dismay....
Anyway good luck!
