Where can you buy bronze wool? I have seen copper (or bronze screen) but not the wool.
No idea where a guy could buy either one.

Dryer sheets work and put moth balls around the wheels and jacks for long term storage. We put dryer sheets at every possible opening and around the inside for longer term storage. The advice for keeping the grass down is worth listening too as well.

We use a product farmers use to keep mice out of the cabs of their equipment. It is called Cab Fresh here in Canada. It may go by other names, but any Implement Dealer should have it.

We just got back from our 4 weeks of dry camping, The DH, (opposite of DW) thought the state of Colorado was going to make him buy a small game permit, the count was 19 mice in the basement, traps is the only sure way to keep track of how many there actually is getting in. Of course one thing leads to another, when we found little black thingy's in the furnace vent we got to wondering how in the world a mouse got into a supposedly all enclosed forced air furnace vent. You guessed it , it isn't ALL ENCLOSED> But thats another post and another problem. The mouse problem is going to be a "on going" thing, there is so many ways for a mouse to get into these trailers, just buy stock in "Victor" mouse traps, (don't buy "Tomcat" mouse traps).

Rear frame, just behind bumper is 2 holes, about 3" in diameter. I have no clue why these are wide open to the underbelly but that's the easy way for any rodent to get in. I bought some metal mesh and I am using Liquid Nails clear to hold it over the holes.
