How to Prevent Pests In Your RV

Pests such as rodents, bugs, and other critters can cause significant damage to your RV if they make it inside. To keep these nuisances out of your RV, you can try the following strategies.

Inspect Your RV For Entry Points

Look over your camper for any possible entry points for pests. Even tiny gaps in window frames or door seals can allow pests to enter. 

Regularly check windows and doors for any signs of gaps or cracks, then seal them up as needed.

Keep Food Sealed

When storing food in your RV, make sure to keep it properly stored in airtight containers. Open containers of food are highly attractive to rodents, bugs, and other pests.

Keep the RV Clean

Vacuum or sweep your RV regularly to help get rid of any crumbs that may be attracting pests.

Additionally, make sure to also empty out bins and trash cans often to prevent odors from accumulating.

Use Proper RV Storage

If possible, keep your camper stored somewhere indoors. A garage or shed can help provide another barrier to entry for any nearby pests.

If indoor storage isn't an option, consider investing in an RV cover. This will make it harder for pests to make it inside your RV.

Following these tips will help you keep pests out of your RV and ensure that it remains in good shape for many years to come!
