When I winterized and shut down the TT last November, no problem. Everything went well. Mothballs set out on plastic plates in 3 different locations. Removed anything edible or usable in any way by those little furry rodents. Even toilet paper and paper towel (nesting material). Just as in previous years. Except for one year in the past (had a couple get in but no damage), never had any issue with this method. Took a trip up in December and found 3 bodies in the toilet.
Cleaned up everything and ran to the local store. As time was limited, I put 3 boxes of D-Con in the TT, as well as freshened up the plastic plates with moth balls. All I could do at the time.
Went back for a visit in February. Everything looked good. No activity.
Went back for a visit again yesterday. Wanted to bring some stuff up to get the camping season started.
Opened the door, walked in, and noticed the telltale sign of rodents all over the kitchen and bath! DAMN!
Couple of bodies in the toilet again, and one behind the toilet on the floor! All 3 boxes of D-Con empty. Acorn shells all over the place. I proceeded to spew a stream of phrases I can't mention here.
No time to clean up but to remove the bodies and put out some more D-Con until I can get there again in a couple of weeks.
And, not only do the DW and I have a mess to clean up, the frickin linoleum in the kitchen has cracked and spit wide open from one side of the TT to the other! :'( :'( :'(
What did I do to deserve this?!
