Feed them D-Con. Here in southern California, where we have only had 0.1" of
rain since last July, all the canyon animals are searching for food and
water in the population areas. The plant watering systems draw all the
animals out of the canyons. We put D-con in the closed sheds where only
small animals can squeeze in. The D-Con open package "food" levels have gone
down and the mice dropping have stopped inside our sheds. Put D-Con in the
GMC, but nothing ate the food and no droppings so they did not enter the
coach.

If you use "bait" like D-Con, you might want to just bait the area outside
the GMC. Less chance that whatever eats the bait will find a place to die
inside the coach. Not a guarantee tho'...

They should not die in the coach since if I remember right they have to
drink water before the dcon kills them.

I don't know about that - I've had them die in my shop before and there was
no water available there.

Thats because they probably lived somewhere in the shop. Ate the dcon went
to drink and than came back to die. Trick is to not let them live in the
area I believe. Here may be some good info on rats

It certainly would be a "trick" to keep them from setting up housekeeping in
the GMC.

Thanks for the URL!
