My Jamco 3 horse slant bumper pull hasn't moved much in a few years since I lost my mare, yet I'm not ready to let go of it.  Recently a friend borrowed it and we discovered that it looks like mice have somehow infiltrated my trailer, evidenced by the coating of white styrofoam pellet debris on the trailer floor.  I'm guessing that this is coming from them eating through the insulation in the roof, I don't think there's any styrofoam insulation in the walls?  Any idea how they might be getting in there and how do I get rid of them?  TIA!

A mouse can fit through an amazingly small opening. Make sure there's no food in the trailer .. like horse treats or grain. Get a trap. Don't use poison. You don't want a dead mouse somewhere you can't get to.

Seal every gap. Mice squeeze through dime-sized holes. Check vents, seams, wiring entries. Trap inside, bait outside. Clean hard, bleach wash. Patch insulation after. GL!
