How to Keep Pests Out of Your RV

RVing offers a great way to explore the outdoors. Unfortunately, that inevitably means dealing with various pests that are also outside. Use the below tips to keep your camper (and your vacation!) free from pests.

Inspect Your Camper

The first step in keeping pests away from your camper is making sure all openings are sealed properly. This includes windows, doors, vents, and any other holes where pests could enter. You should also check for any cracks or gaps around the frame of your vehicle and seal them with caulk if needed.

Use Proper Food Storage Strategies

You should also make sure that all food items are stored properly and not left out in the open. This includes any pet food as well as human food that could attract pests. Consider using airtight containers to store your food and make sure all garbage is placed in a sealed bin and taken out regularly.

Keep Up With Cleaning

Another way to keep pests away from your RV or camper is to practice regular cleaning and maintenance. Vacuum regularly, including around furniture and underneath appliances. Make sure to get rid of any standing water where pests might breed, such as water bowls for pets.

Get Professional Help When Needed

Finally, if you suspect an infestation in your RV or camper, contact a pest control professional immediately. They can assess the situation and help you take the necessary steps to get rid of the pests quickly and safely.
By following these tips, you can keep pests out of your camper so you have an enjoyable experience on your travels.
