Buddy of mine did that in his Jet boat. Mice were eating the soap bars...maybe the trick is the shredding part....

Peppermint oil is the best! Tried it myself and it worked like a charm! Few drops on a cotton balls, spread them around and mice is gone! Total investment -$10.00!

I have been taking Irish Spring soap down to Cuba as gifts for years. I have never seen a mouse so it must work.

Just have a crawlspace under my cabin. Used to have a few mice get into it so built a mini bucket mouse trap with a two gallon pail and peanut butter on a pop can. Got a couple and don't see any evidence anymore are under the cabin.

Absolutely agree, store 5th wheel at son in laws farm every year. Put Pure pepermint oil soaked cotton balls around the inside. No sign at all of them getting in.
