    I’ve seen mice cause havoc in vans, eating the wiring causing shorts and fires, eating through water pipes: best thing you got rid of it as quickly as possible, even though you had to kill it. Might have been an expensive intruder if you hadn’t found it. 🐭🐭

    Store your food in a plastic box with a lid. That will stop the little critters from getting to your food and if they can't easily get food they won't stay with you.

    I would remove and or secure all food and then get a few traps. Those little guys can get in such tiny spaces! I like mice but not in my stuff. They gotta go ASAP. I have been dealing with them in my house. I have trapped a couple lately. Good luck and Happy Travels

    We had a similar situation in an old flat we lived in, but it was a huge Rat that had got into the building. Could hear it in the walls at night. We were on the THIRD FLOOR 😅. Traumatic experience. Managed to catch it with the old peanut butter trick like you guys and it literally set the trap off while we were in the room. So we heard it thrashing about for about 5 seconds (and saw its tail whipping around. It was behind the skirting board in the kitchen). So I can relate to your situation completely. Not one I would like to repeat. Well done for resolving it so quickly #traplife

  • @bradcouper9547

    All open food should be in snap tight containers. Put dryer sheets everywhere and replace monthly. They hate any strong perfume scent and dryer sheets are cheap and easy to stuff into spots.

  • @qaz9258

    There seems to be a stink raised about killing mice. Mostly from people who know little about them. Their population can go berserk and they end up killing each other. They can flash over a landscape and devastate it. The recognition that the mouse would just come back is truth. Still it is tough.

  • @MegaCocodile

    I had a mouse in my tent 3 nights in Norway once in the mountains once at a campsite and once again in my backpack after unloading it after putting up the tent in the mountains, I was sure it was the same mouse hitchhiking with me! once of the mice nibbled through the bottom mesh of the inner wall of the tent so that is where either it and its friends were getting in!

  • @ShazBookOwl
    @ShazBookOwl Před 9 měsíci

    Hey guys, the simple truth is that you can't live with a mouse running around in a van. It's not just the food, also electrics, insulation and other issues they can cause. You have to deal with it, and you did what you had to do... though sad it might be. I'm glad you resolved the issue - Now, can I suggest you get some containers for your food, either plastic or tins... Cheers 😉

    Hey guys - a comment slightly unrelated to your video - we recently watched through all your videos and it made me want to travel through Europe in a van... we are buying one! One thing you've touched on a little but not really gone into is some of the logistics of water and waste. We've seen you fill up a few times, and there seem to be quite a few public taps and things to use - great. What happens to your waste water from washing up and things, do you have a waste tank that needs emptying, or does it just go on the ground. The most delicate, but necessary question is: what about all the poo? Whilst you've mentioned sometimes the van is smelly because the toilet has expanded in higher altitude, is it easy to find places to empty your toilet cassette? Do you use chemicals in the toilet? I heard about some European places not accepting toilet waste with chemicals... which means a bit more of a potentially smellier situation. Please expand more on your poo removal process :)

  • @regtitch5200
    @regtitch5200 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Unfortunately you had to trap it otherwise it could have eaten through the wiring of the van plus clean up as mice urinate as the run around.
    Throw the food away that the mouse ate.
    A sad event 😥
    Remember! You are good people x

  • @cherylsimpson6816
    @cherylsimpson6816 Před 9 měsíci +1

    I hope you threw away all the food it had access to cos they urinate constantly when they move about and you should also wash everything down in your boot storage. Funny video, just love the two of you! 😅

    Hi guys, i feel for you, i really dont know how i would feel in your situation. on the one hand you can not live with a mouse in the van crappin everywhere, yet i feel so sorry for the poor mouse who was just trying to live its best life, my only advice would be get a couple of mouse traps that just trap them so you can set it free in the wild IF it ever happens again. All the very best to you both from Nick in Wolsingham. 🐭

    They cannot live in our space. One built a nest in a mobile home beneath my head in bed. So many channels it can hide in. Had to get it. Now im building a camper van, Ive made everywhere accesible and open. I donf need them eating and destroying all my food and personal items. They risk being close to me and pooing snd weeing around me, Then theres no choice.

    My sympathy, I had a what I thought was one in my garage a while ago, caused havoc, ruined food, shredded things. I set a capture trap and found it was actually two. I am still finding more nesting sites in various places, I dread to think if I had not caught them and they bred I could have been infested. It did force me to be more organised and keep the food I store in there in sealed containers and to fix the slight leaky pipe they were getting water. The only way they got in my garage was leaving the doors open unattended as no gaps. I guess you guys will have to be a bit more wary of doing the same.

    @driveandsurvive Před 9 měsíci

    @igrim39 makes a really valid point about the potential risk and supporting the justification to act quickly to ensure your safety. Your probably already on it, but consider routinely checking your smoke detector works, storing your food in airtight containers and stocking a non-lethal trap.
    In a less dramatic situation, I used to live in a place that sat on land that was home to a species of endangered native mice. Every day I would check non-lethal traps and often found at least one, and the record was five. One mouse was regular, I must have caught and released it, at least, twenty times. In the end, I'd open the trap and while others would dart away, it would simply walk out casually and disappear into the underbrush.

    You built a van but couldn't build a humane mouse trap? Its literally a tall container and a spinning stick. If you dont fancy killing the next one google how to make one and use the tall container for storage in your garage. I would never kill something when you can catch and release but you need to release a long way away. Looks like you might need to get your van on a lift and seal it up to prevent it happening again.
