I'm getting a used trailer house for guests and storage on my farm.
From past experience I found that trailer houses attract mice. Once
they get into the insulation under the floor, the damage begins. I
considered covering the entire underside of the trailer with sheet
steel, but it would be very costly, and probably difficult to install
too. Someone said they knew someone who used window screen and said it
worked, but that they had to regularly check for loose edges because
mice and other critters would loosen it. I got to thinking about that
1/4" hardware cloth. That stuff is comparable in price to window
screen, but much more durable. Probably easier to attach too, because
it can be nailed with roofing nails, not just staples, and it can be
folded at the edges to go under the skirting flange along the edges of
the trailer. Plus, it can be screwed in place in spots where it might
need to be removed, such as by pipes. And it can be wired together if
there is no solid wood in spots, along seams. Plus, I'm sure it will
last much longer than screen.

The question is whether mice can get thru the 1/4" holes. I know they
can manage to get into small holes, but that size seems to be a little
too small. Has anyone tried this? Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Gunn,

While I have no idea what size the mice and voles get to be at your place
I suspect that 1/4" will be ok. If you are't sure, they have finer mesh wire
cloths.
Wire cloth is sold in 2' wide rolls here. That seems narrow for this
task.

Where I'm from they call this a camper...what you need to do is caulk all the areas where plumbing and wires go through the floor. Using mesh would be a daunting task and a nightmare to maintain.

even if the holes are small they will easily expand the size and come
through.

I had a mouse problem a while back with my own house and used that

Mesh size is less important than what the netting is made of.
Mice happily nibble through plastic and nylon (hard or soft),
but not through metal flyscreen sheet. (They could if they
tried, but presumably the first bite on metal dissuades them
in ways nylon/plastic do not.)

No, they can't get through a 1/4" square but chances are they will get
through the seams as the hardware cloth that I am familiar with only
comes in widths of approximately 2' and how you could make the seams
"mouse proof" is beyond me.

I haven't tried it but I did a Google search to find mouse measurements.
The most relevant page I found was this one that shows the
measurements of mouse skulls.

http://craniofacial.jax.org/characteristics.html

In the measurements this guy made, the minimum height and width of an 8
week old mouse of the types he measured was a female of one of the types
that appeared to me (by subtracting the +/- from the average) to have a
skull height of around 8.6 mm and a width of around 9.7 mm, with most
mice being a bit larger than that.

Maybe something else in the mouse is more limiting than the skull size,
though they seem to be pretty good at squeezing their bodies into small
spaces.

1/4 inch = 6.35 mm. Could a mouse get through that?

Maybe one younger than 8 weeks could. Maybe a strong one that could bow
out the wire a bit could. Maybe a smart one that found an irregularity
in the mesh could.

Or maybe not.

I would think that the vast majority of mice couldn't get through but
the margin of error here seems to me to be such that you wouldn't be
100% guaranteed to exclude every one of them.

I would be inclined to use both alum. screen and hardware cloth, with
screen protecting the h.c. Would keep bugs out and would be a real
challenge for mice to get through. Fasten strips of something hard
around the edges to hold edges fast to the frame of the trailer. Leave
something "homier" in the yard for the neighborhood critters, like a box
of sand with an insulated cover ) Really, they don't need much...they
nest in my son's mower every year and he tries not to hurt them....this
fall, he evicted the mother before he found the babies, then put the
babies on the ground and the mother came back for them. Keeping the
trailer free of food (unless in hard, sealed containers) should help.

Per :

considered covering...

My #1 daughter has a half-dozen "barn" cats: semi-wild things that just
live in the barn to control mice. They don't have that long a life
expectancy (mainly because of getting kicked by horses), but they
apparently make a significant dent in the mouse population.

I wonder if one or more "trailer cats" might help.

I got a roll of 4' wide 1/4" hardware cloth in my garage, so 2' is not the

1/4" should keep them out, but you could go to 1/8". They both seem to be made
in 48" widths.

No, this is far more than a camper.

It's up to 14' wide and up to 70' long. They also call them "single wides" and they're very common in "redneck" culture.

These are the kinds of homes you see in a "trailer park" right before the tornado hits.

Closely related to the "double wide" trailer, about which a popular country song was written.

According to my calculations based on mouse skull size, 1/4" should keep
out all but the very young, very strong (enough to deform the wire) or
very smart (enough to find an irregularity if there is one) mice.

But I see no conceivable way any of them could wiggle through 1/8".

Yes, considering they can gnaw through wood and even concrete, that
expandable foam would be very easy to gnaw through. In my situation I
was lucky in that once there were no visible holes anywhere they left me
alone. In my neighborhood, there must have been plenty of other easy to
access areas.

Forget the hardware cloth, you just need to elevate your guest quarters a bit.

Someone else mentioned the expandable foam. I've had good
luck using that to seal holes where pipes etc come in.
Another suggestion would be the good old smelly moth balls.
Supposedly mice don't like the smell of them any better than we do.
I put moth balls out in our barn. That seems to keep even the skunks out.

Yes, they do sell 4' wide rolls. I checked online and called a few
stores today. It's cheaper to buy a 100 foot roll, which I'd need two
rolls plus another 25 feet or so. I wish they made it 6 foot wide
though. Of course I'll use metal. I know mice can and do chew thru all
plastics. For the seams, I figure putting some sort of metal strapping,
such as flattened drywall corner bead, or mayb some of that metal stuff
used for banding together square metal duct work. And there are
numerous strips made for edging roofs which are galvanized and fairly
cheap. I believe they are called drip edges. Either way, I'm sure it
will be a pain in the ass to install, but worth the time and cost if it
keeps mice out. It's hard to imagine that a small mouse can do so much
damage, not to mention I cant stand having them in the house.

And yes, I do have several barn cats, and still see lots of mice. I was
told that female cats are better mousers, and all my barn cats are
females except for two young male kittens that one of them had. Those
will either be neutered, or found another home, to eliminate having many
litters of kittens yearly. Of course there is always a feral tom cat
who comes along anyhow. I cant keep cats indoors though. That litter
odor is something I cant handle, even thought I like the cats.

There is no way they're getting through 1/4 inch mesh. That's plenty small enough.

If you leave any gaps though they'll find them, or pry them open bigger. 1/2 inch is like a highway to them.

Something you may not have thought of: You're probably using several different metals, outside in a moist atmosphere. There may be steel nails, aluminum screen, copper pipes and wire, metal siding, etc. Any time two different metals are connected you have the potential (pun) for galvanic corrosion. You can eat a hole surprisingly fast.

As one who has had mice...I assure you they can get through almost
anything. Even if the hole is seemingly too small to get through, they
will gnaw or force it open if they want to get in.

The best way is to /not/ have any holes at all that could draw their
attention. If there is not a hole, they may not smell potential food inside.

BTW: I think I might have used fine steel wool to plug the holes I had
prior to the use of foam.

Some years ago when I had a business, there was a problem with rats and
mice in my warehouse. I put out rat traps for the rats and round plastic
ant bait containers. The ants ate the peanut butter off the rat traps
and the rats and mice ate the ant bait. I tuned the rat traps until the
things had a hair trigger. One day, I found a mouse caught in one of the
big traps. The bar came down on its hind quarters and the look on
mouse's face was hysterical. Its mouth was wide open and I could
imagine it screaming "AHHHHHHHH!" ^_^

You can just stich the seams together with small hard wire, like fine baling
wire. Or you could build a frame of 1x2 with the appropriate spacing, nail it to
the bottom, and staple the hardware cloth to that. That would help electrically
isolate the cloth from other metals is might contact to avoid corrosion
problems. You could also fold the cloth over the edges of that frame if needed
to keep the mice away from the wood.

For stitching, just bend the end of the wire into a curve, and loop it up
through the two layers and back out every few inches. Then stretch it tight from
the ends.

That sounds like a plan.....
I just got an email back from a company that I contacted, and they can
special order 60 inch wide rolls of this stuff. I like that idea, less
seams to contend with. There is really no way to electrically isolate
the mesh from the frame, because the trailers all have metal beams under
them, and the mesh will have to be pushed over the top of these beams by
lifting the "belly", which is the insulation. I do intend to fold the
cloth over the edges of the frame, and attach it along the edges of the
walls where the skirting goes. That way it's sealed all the way around.

Oh, hell no. He's ****in' Goofy.

Ah, love that double entendre. Thanks for
the laugh.

Definitely not Stormy...bottom posted and expressed the cognition of "2X entendre"! WTF!

You should definitely not use sexual inuendo.
Why, the bible says.... hellbound is he who
is into S and M. The modern perverse world
whips up the passions.

Yet some believe the OP is not Home Guy, and they never saw him change
his moniker in THIS SAME EXACT thread. Home Guy hates America, but
then comes here to ask for advice he can find out otherwise.

Amazing!

Brighten up.

BS. A mouse canNOT fit through a 1/4" hole.

even if the holes are small they will easily expand the size and come
through.

Possibly they can chew through the wires. More likely, they'll look for something easier,
somewhere else.

I had a mouse problem a while back with my own house and used that
expandable foam insulation to fill the holes. Never had a mouse again.

You're just a fountain of bad advice today. Mice will chew through that stuff in seconds. If you
really want to stuff a crevice with something to keep mice out, use steel wool.

Someone else mentioned the expandable foam. I've had
good
luck using that to seal holes where pipes etc come in.
Another suggestion would be the good old smelly moth balls.
Supposedly mice don't like the smell of them any better than we do.
I put moth balls out in our barn. That seems to keep even the skunks
out.



That was me...and it worked...but someone else mentioned it did no
good for them.

Specific foam for mice & pests.

GREAT STUFF™ Pestblock is the bitter-tasting foam sealant that blocks
critters and bugs – from spiders and ants to mice and rats – from entering
your home through gaps, cracks and holes.

I wonder if Minnie was ever slipped a Micky.

I haven't seen the new Pestblock expanding foam yet at my local Menards and Home Depot. Sounds like just the thing to use though.
