Perform the cleaning treatment daily
for three days to ensure that all fleas have
encountered the treatment. Flying outdoor
insects are attracted to bright light. Yellow
porch light covers on the motorhome work to
discourage insect invasion. During nighttime
hours insects will be attracted to docking lights
or other bright exterior lighting.
If the presence of moths is detected inside
the motorhome, usually by holes appearing in
material, clean the affected clothing and all
other items stored in the same area. Follow
by completely cleaning the closet, dresser
or storage area. If cracks are detected, seal
the cracks and treat the area with a properly
labeled indoor pest control product.
Birds:
Even birds can be considered pests,
particularly when the motorhome is parked in
the flight path of a flock. Bird droppings are
hard to remove and will leave stains. Prevent
permanent staining to the motorhome roof by
regularly cleaning the surface to remove all
bird droppings.
Damage from Pests:
Lizards can be captured using glue traps. To
remove the lizard from the trap, dissolve the
glue with vegetable oil and release it outside
and away from the motorhome. A scorpion will
glow blue-green in UV light. If the presence
of scorpions in the motorhome is suspected,
investigate with an UV black light during the
nighttime hours.
Best sources of information about
common household pests:
The National Pest Management Association
website can be a useful resource on common
pests. Another good source of information are
colleges and universities with entomology
(study of insects) departments.
Electronic pest control devices can be costly
and will likely not work on all types of rodents
and insects. When calling on the services of a
professional to combat pest infestation, call a
reputable business that is licensed in handling
pesticides. Check references. Explain that you
are seeking assistance for a motorhome, as
treatments may differ from standard household
jobs.
If a pest problem is suspected in the
motorhome, consider professional pest control
help. The following guidelines can be used for
selecting a pest control service:
Seek referrals from those who have
used pest control services. Inquire
about the type of pest problem
encountered and if they were satisfied
with the service.
Membership in the national, state or
local pest control associations is a good
indicator that the company has access
to modern technical information and is
committed to further education.
Reach a complete understanding with
the company before work starts; find
out what the pest is, how the problem
will be treated, how long the period of
treatment will be, and what results can
be expected.
Be sure to understand what is
guaranteed and what is not.

Short Term
Short term storage is defined as storing
the motorhome for a period of thirty days
or less. Properly preparing the motorhome
during periods of short term storage will make
bringing the motorhome out of storage a much
easier process. Winterize the plumbing system
if the motorhome is stored in winter months, or
if stored when temperatures are below 32º F.
Checklist - Short Term Storage:
Retract the slide rooms. DO NOT
store the motorhome with slide rooms
extended.
Shut off all appliances. Close the
primary propane shut-off valve.
Remove all articles from refrigerator/
freezer and clean thoroughly. Prop doors
open to prevent mildew.
Drain holding tanks. Winterize the fresh
water system using FDA RV antifreeze
or air pressure to evacuate the plumbing
system.
Retract and secure all awnings.
Turn OFF the interior house power
using the battery switch (located near
the entry door).
Store house and chassis batteries fully
charged. Batteries stored in a discharged
state will readily freeze.
If possible, position the motorhome
so the house and chassis batteries are
accessible for charging or changing
without having to move the motorhome.
