How did the mice get into the ceiling?
Still can't figure out how the mice got into the ceiling, no in the ducts or air conditioner. Anyone else have this happen?

Is it really mice - or just sawdust in the light fixtures?
Anyway - as my former Health Inspector always reminded me, mice can get through a hole as small as 1/4". The bones in their skulls can actually slide together to allow them to squeeze through. So if there are holes for wiring, there are passages for mice.2017 Imagine 2670MK

My ceiling cavity is full of sawdust. During travels some of it will fall into the light fixtures. If you have mice, there will be droppings somewhere.

We had mice in the bedroom ceiling of a previous camper, could hear them scurrying around at njght. I put some glue traps on the floor under the drawers in the kitchen and caught both of them, then sealed up a couple very small openings in the underbelly.

There was no way to get at them!! They were not inside the trailer but seem to be running around on the insulation in the bedroom ceiling. No droppings or anything inside! We thought they might have gotten in from the tongue as the front cap has a gap underneath and you can feel paper.

We've had mice in the ceiling of our 312 BHTS....it KILLS me to hear something up there that could be potentially eating through my duct work. I can see, access, and get to everywhere BUT in the ceiling cavity. We located in our unit a drawer that had a couple mice dropping in it....I set 2 traps LOADED with peanut butter....caught 3 in 4 hours. The shear joy of "snap" of the traps made me feel better. Truth is....you're not going to seal every gap, you can't unless you drop the entire underbelly, and go back with steel wool, spray foam, dryer sheets, mouse poisoning, and a 24/7 armed guard....the best you can hope for are mouse traps, peanut butter, and patience. (something I really suck at sometimes!) HAHA

I think most mice come in by the slide piston area. I use stainless steel scouring pads when its parked slides in or out. Haven't had any since. Takes 2 minutes to put them in place just make sure to remove them when moving slides so you don't pull them into underbelly.
