By Helen Baker


The best way to control any infestation is by prevention. When one has a mobile home, it is quite a task to control the pests. Therefore, by making the environment not hospitable, the pests find it hard to infest. In a scenario where there is already an infestation, there are some ways to flush out and kill the pests. The following is a guide to RV pest control.

An RV is a vehicle that travels a lot and therefore has all the amenities installed. These include water conduits, sewage lines and power cables transverse all in the vehicle. They have many openings to the exterior of the car and they can offer entry ways into the inside. Therefore, it is essential to have a critter guard that usually employs the use of a liquid contained in a curved part making the opening impossible to enter.

One can also employ use of the traps and bait to lour the insects and pests. These traps help keep the pest contained until one comes to exterminate them. It is advised to avoid methods as poisoning which may prove fatal to the unintended people. Such traps are usually very convenient to people with kids and pets around the RV.

Use of aerosols or chemicals to spray around and in the vehicle helps to kill and repel the bugs away. This kills the flying and crawling insects too. By spraying outside, it keeps off the pest off the area he RV is parked and restrict access to the crawling insects to coming near or in the vehicle.

One can also employ of other repellents like ointments that can be applied in any entry point to keep the pests. An example is the pepper mint ointment that produces an odor that irritates the mice and rats and if they come into contact, they tend to be scratchy. This helps keep the pests away from entry points.

In a more traditional way, one can use animals to control the pest. They are much more safe and effective in the prevention of infestation. A cat or dog can be good enough to chase away or killing mice and rats in the vehicle. Some birds used as pest can be used to control most crawling and flying insects in the vehicle. This may a good way to allow the nature take its course by way of animals killing each other for food thus gaining balance.

There also some genius ways that have been invented to keep away mostly flying insects. Some detergents used to wash clothes and wiping the surfaces. They repel such insects from landing or crawling on them. This helps in keeping the bugs away from inside the compartments.

There some electronic pest repellents that can be use to repel many insects and pest away. They only need be connected to a power source and they can produce sound at very high frequencies that no human ear can hear. These high frequencies are usually repelling a lot of pest by making them feel uncomfortable and irritating.
