moth balls.
Get a cat
There are small devices that plug into your wall outlets that emit a very high frequency. They supposedly deter mice, roaches, spiders, etc. If all else fails, get a cat.
Remove sources of open food.


Keep them in metal containers.


Trash, too!





Keep food sources away from your trailer.


You will see much less of them.

It would cost you a small fortune, for mice and rats...





Go to the local hardware store, (You would probably have to order this, from them or the internet), and get some ';stainless steel'; wire mesh.





Mice and rats can not get through stainless steel mesh, but you have to cover your entire trailer bottom with it..(see, why I told you it would be expensive?).





So, you get the mesh, and tack it up to the bottom of your trailer, or make a frame to hold the mesh up against it.





(personally I would get some metal angle iron to make a frame, and do it right, by coating and painting the angle iron, and putting the wire, on the angle and having another piece of straight bar metal and bolting it up to the angle, trapping the wire mesh between that and the frame.

From a friend I heard that chocolate works really well. The mice love it and when they eat, they have a heart attack and die. There's a part of me that feels bad for the mice, but then again, they are a health concern. Better to get rid of them than risk any health problems.


You could probably do this if you get desperate.





Other than that, I don't know a way to keep mice from coming in. Sorry.
