Squirrels
We are camped for the summer in a campground with an abundance of squirrels. Other campers have had squirrels invade their trailers. The only openings I can see are the holes were the rams go through for the slides. If a squirrel went in that hole how far could he get through the trailer? Any advice on blocking those holes. All other openings I have either insulating foam or steel wool. Thanks

Moth balls in pieces of panty hose will discourage them.

Peppermint oil on cotton balls is another deterrent and it smells good too.

The whole belly and passthru are open to the holes for the front four rams of my system. I am using wire fencing material with less than quarter inch opening that is cut to fit the profile of the levelers with spray foam to tack it in place inside the lower metal work. A good squirrel roast would reduce the population, but campground would take a dim view. John

Son has a new pellet gun that the barrel acts like a silencer. That may work but as John stated in the previous post the campgrounds kind of frown on that also. All of the postings are good ideas and if you find a way for them to stay out of the rig that works just post it here so we all can do it!
