PEST CONTROL
Regardless of the area one lives in or travels to, it is safe in stating there will be pests waiting.
These pests are not only annoying; they can pose a health risk and create serious damage to the
motorhome.
• Common pests include insects such as ants, cockroaches, termites, flies, pantry pests and
wasps as well as wildlife such as rodents, raccoons, bats, birds and snakes. It is impor-
tant to remember that pests are searching for food, water and a place to live. Eliminating
any one of those elements will help control the pest infestation. Take immediate steps to
remove pests as soon as their presence is detected.
Steps to take to help control pests:
• Reduce the clutter inside the motorhome and storage bays. All storage items, particularly
food (including pet food), should be kept in tightly sealed containers. Seal all cracks and
holes, and insure that window, door and vent screens are securely in place.
• Routinely clean the motorhome, including storage bays. Wipe down the water bay.
Promptly remove all crumbs from areas where food is regularly prepared and eaten.
Garbage should be placed in a sealed container and removed to an outside receptacle daily.
Only put out pet food that will be immediately eaten.
• Keep foods such as flour, cereal, spaghetti and pet food in re-sealable containers with tight
lids.
• Sweep and vacuum often (especially in eating areas) to help eliminate a food source for
pests.
• Seal cracks, crevices, and gaps around doors and windows. Ensure all windows and
doors are screened and that the screens fit snug in the frames.
• Many pests need moisture to successfully live and reproduce. Limit their access to water
or moisture sources by sealing any cracks and leaks in pipes and faucets. Reduce mois-
ture in the motorhome by controlling condensation, immediately wiping up spills and
promptly repairing leaks. Be extra alert around areas that attract rodents and insects,
including the sewer hose, fresh water hose, bay doors and items that may be leaning
against the outside of the motorhome, such as fishing poles and golf clubs.
• When the motorhome is stored outdoors, clear the surrounding area of all rodent friendly
hiding places - shrubs, trees and clutter. Completely seal the underside of the motorhome.
Wire mesh will work well to prevent points of entry, but beware of blocking necessary air
vents. Prior to operating the motorhome after storage, remove all insect and animal nests
that may have developed around vents, engine compartments, the exhaust pipe and in the
wheel wells.
