When I uncovered it last spring I discovered a large mouse nest built in the AC unit. The AC unit is a standard Coleman Mach 3 Roof Top AC. Model # 8333C876. You have seen a million of them. Do you know a do it yourself thick to keep mice out? I was thinking of getting some tough galvanized screen or something like it and trying to build a cage to cover the AC unit. Advice please.

I know these things work inside houses, because we've used them successfully for over 20 years, and we live very rural. I decided to try putting one (Transonic Pro is current model) UNDER my RV while it is parked. I asked the manufacturer and they said to place the Transonic under the trailer inside a Tupperware bowl with holes near the speaker (keeps out rain and snow). Sound will come out behind too, so place the unit near the end of the trailer, say 5 feet in. Putting a cinder block at the far end would be good to help the sounds echo. Setting it off the ground for weather protection is good too. Seems to me if the critters never go under my rig, they will not chew wires, insulation, or be able to get inside. I installed it early fall of 2004. I'm running it off the trailer battery, by connecting to the TV cord. I use a solar battery charger when stored, and am watching the voltage to be sure it keeps up. I didn't want to kill the mice once they were in the trailer, I want them to not get in. Problem is I do not want to poison grandchildren, pets, or wild animals (we live VERY rural), all of which we seem to have wandering around here. So far, no mice, or any other critter trouble, with TT.
