Keeping the mice away

Any success stories with keeping mice out? We thought we had them licked with electronic sonic devices but now they're back. We'd like to just discourage their entrance rather than have to trap them. Of course it goes without saying we keep the food secured, but we've had them eat the gel off a razor blade! Seems they'll try anything, at least once!
Thanks!

While person "A" shines a bright light beneath the trailer, person "B" is in trailer caulking anywhere the light shines through - mostly plumbing holes and gaps around the wheel wells.As an added measure we've place bounce sheets and cloves throughout the camper when storing it for the winter.

The best defense is to block any entrance into the PUP. Go out at night and shine a light around in the PUP. Fill any hole where light shines through with caulk.We have dd's cat as an added measure.[):)]Baytoven(Me)

Thanks for the great tips and the belly laughs! This was my first post on the forum and I appreciate the quick responses and the humor! I think we'll go with plan A & B all I have to do now is find a flash light that works. I"m allergic to cats (or so I've told everyone for years) and since my husband and I work together we agreed a long time ago that working together and firearms just were not a good mix!
