Expert Answers about Heartland RV Insect and Pest Control


  • Is There a Product for Removing Insects While at the Campground
  • Annoying pests can best be dealt with by using a tick remover such as the Tick Remover Tool # CG37PR. This simple and inexpensive device makes it easy to remove annoying pests that bug you at the campsite.

  • Best Heavy Duty 20' Sewer Hose Kit For RV Campers.
  • I recommend the Viper RV Sewer Hose Kit # D04-0475. This is our thickest hose at 26mils TPE so it will resist crushing, punctures, and UV damage. It also stays flexible even in cold temperatures. The kit contains two 10' hoses so you can use one if you only need one which is better than having to trying to bunch up a 20' hose. Also included is a 4-1 clear elbow that fits 3" slip, 3", 3-1/2", and 4" threaded sewer points. The clear elbow helps you ensure that the hose and system are clean...

  • Best MouseBlocker Pest Control for Small Garage With Tools (safe for dogs and cats)
  • Dennis, for a one-car garage, the plug-in # MB34FR is plenty - it covers up to 400 sq. ft. and is simple to plug in and forget. The 360x # MB64FR is better for big shops or barns, but in your case, the smaller unit will get the job done without overpowering. These are also safe for dogs and cats, whereas some other pest control methods may not be. Do you store any vehicles in that garage too, or just gear?

  • Does The Rechargeable Mosquito Zapper And Lantern Work Outside During Daytime.
  • Although the Rechargeable Mosquito Zapper and Lantern - 180 Lumens - 500V # AT84VR can be used anytime it will not be very effective during daytime hours. It relies on UV light to attract mosquitos, so it will be overpowered by the sun itself. The less light you have around you the better it will be for it to work. For daytime insect control I recommend Coghlan's Citronella Candle # CG87ZR. It burns about 16-18 hours and gives off a citronella sent that repels insects.

  • Where Is The Ground Control 3.0 Rear External Sensor Located On A Trailer
  • The rear external sensor of the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System # LC358590 can be found either in line with the rear jacks or just a few feet behind them, directly in the center of the trailer. Most likely your Reflection has some corrugated plastic covering the underbelly so you'll have to cut it open to get a better look. I usually cut a flap open so that I can stitch it back together with zip-ties to prevent any unwanted pest from getting in.

  • Protecting Classic Pickup From Mice Chewing Wiring During Long-Term Storage
  • Henry, yes, the MouseBlocker Pest Control Pro # MB94FR is built for long-term storage of vehicles like your classic truck. It wires directly to the 12V system and uses barely more power than a nightlight. If you don’t run a battery maintainer, I’d suggest checking voltage occasionally, since the Pro will shut down automatically if the battery drops too low as a safety feature to protect your truck's battery. Do you plan to run a tender on that old Ford?

  • Using Mouse Blocker Pest Control Unit in a Truck That Sits Unused
  • Steve, yes, the Pro # MB94FR is designed exactly for situations like that. It connects to your 12V system, runs quietly in the background, and shuts off if battery voltage drops too low so you don’t come back to a dead truck. Since your truck sits for long stretches, you might consider a battery maintainer too - that way the MouseBlocker and your truck battery both stay healthy. If you don't have one already, I'd go with # 329-GENIUS2D. Do you typically disconnect the battery when leaving...

  • Where To Find The Serial Number On A MaxxFan Roof Vent And How To Measure Existing Opening
  • To determine your current opening size you will want to measure the rough opening on your trailers' roof. Make sure to remove the garnish ring in your roof's opening to get an accurate measurement. The most common openings is 14 1/4" x 14 1/4". To find the serial number on a MaxxFan like # MA00-06200K, you'll want to look on the fan control plate under the round insect screen frame. Rotate the four retaining knobs 180° and remove the screen to view.

  • Recommended Replacement 12V Roof Vent for a Manually Operated MaxxFan Roof Vent
  • Maxxfan does not actually have a conversion kit like Dometic # FV807357, so you'd have to swap out your entire manually lifting fan with a 12V powered fan. I recommend checking out the MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, Thermostat, and Remote # MA00-04500K. This fan has a 12V fan that can be operated with a remote, a rain sensor that automatically closes the lid when rain is detected, and also includes a bug screen to keep bugs and insects out.

  • Using MouseBlocker Electronic Pest Control In A Hybrid Vehicle - Prius
  • Dave, you’re right - hybrids and EVs can be prime targets because of their quiet engine bays. The Classic # MB44FR is a great choice for a Prius it wires directly to the 12V system yes, even hybrids have a 12V auxiliary battery and uses almost no draw. If you want extra deterrence, the Pro # MB94FR adds flashing LEDs, although this one draws slightly more power so I'd recommend keeping the car on a maintainer or solar charger for this one. Do you typically store the Prius for long stretches,...

  • Yes, the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Remote # FV807350 just requires a 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" cutout hole to install, which your 2016 Jayco Jay Series A-Frame Camper most likely already has. This thermostat-controlled roof vent with 26 settings has a rain sensor so that the dome automatically closes and the built-in reversible, 12V fan shuts off if rain or snow hits. The powered lift eliminates hand cranking, and a remote control is included. This variable-speed fan offers 2 modes...
