Not just cruel but also illegal under the Wildlife and Countryside and Treatment of Animals Act unless you inspect them daily.

Peppermint oil sprinkled round the van. We stored our MH on a farm, and was over run with mice until we was told about Peppermint oil.

I bought 5 litres of it last year online and it deffo works, it works better on a pad of some cotton and it need replenishing from time to time.

Heard this on the radio recently, hope I never have to try it but a few people were singing its praises.
 
Best to be prepared and of course it does smell nice too.

Seriously you should, at least drive it up and down the yard wherever it is stored at least once a month to rotate the tyres and get oil around the top of the engine. Tyres start splitting where they bulge at the bottom and even wheel bearings don't like having the weight on them in one position for a long time. Hence the reason why you sometimes see wind turbines rotating very slowly, it's not because there is a slow wind, they are electrically driven round to save the bearing surfaces getting pitted.

I just had a random thought:
How do Daleks reproduce?
Same as Hedgehogs, I guess. Carefully.
Probably as they are so busy exterminating they haven't got time for any shenannegans. And anyway I have never seen a Dalek in a dress. But then I haven't watched it much.
And back to the original question: how do Daleks prevent mice eating their wiring? Shoot themselves?
 
The Iveco I am converting has only done 160 miles in the last four years, it’s been sat under oak trees for most of that time almost certainly with the roof window open for several week.

it had a considerable Squirrel infestation with at least two dreys, they stripped the insulation from part of the 12v lighting and knawed on several of the 240v AC cables, they also got into the roof liner above the cab as shown in this short video.

Fortunately they have not been at the wiring under the bonnet or chassis

its all relatively easy to sort out, the bigger nuisance is I will need to sterilise and bleach the interior where their runs were before I insulate which is not really a job for the winter.

The box is plastic so I will probably use the pressure washer as well.
