anybody ever heard of putting bounce fabric sheets in your cabinets to try and control mice? Heard this somewhere, and am trying to confirm.

Well, we have been using dryer sheets in our MH for 11 winters and have had no problems with mice. Maybe they just don't like our rig. On the flip side, I would only take with a grain of salt, what the guy from Orkin says. Heck, if dryer sheets work, it would cut into his business.

We have been using nothing in our MH for 9 years and have had no issues with mice. I did crawl around underneath and seal up all small opening I could find as soon as we got the MH home from the dealer.

There is your best mouse control method. I've tried multiple things that either smell nice or strong, both in my truck and trailer, and still had mouse problems until I did the above...and adopted 3 cats!

The only thing I have seen work is peppermint oil in small dishes.
But that was on a boat. Friend had rodents until he put out some and never had a problem since. Coincidence maybe maybe not.

I keep Bounce in my trailer and I've NEVER had a single elephant in over 7 years now. Maybe they work for mice also.

If you use dryer sheets and have no mice, its only because they can't get it! The little beggars found an access to my rig, and chewed up the dryer sheets that I had placed under the kitchen sink.
Find where they're getting, and deal with that; you'll have no more mice.
BTW, have you tried Irish Spring soap?
