mouse-free.com will get you there; have you tried it yet? How much is it?
My first thought was you started a website, to give away free mice as you caught em' . . .

How It WorksMouse Free is a ‘do it yourself’ product that comes in a one-gallon jug or a five-gallon pail. Using our application gun, Mouse Free can be sprayed across the entire undercarriage of a motorhome or trailer. Mouse Free smells nice to humans but rodents steer clear. Mouse Free also acts as an undercarriage lubricant that creates a thin protective coating which rodents and insects cannot travel across. So, say goodbye to mothballs and scented dryer sheets – Mouse Free has you covered. SafetyMouse Free is non-toxic and safe*! The same high grade oils are found in products used by parents to protect their babies bottoms from diaper rash. These same oils are commonly used for relaxation during aromatherapy treatments. $99. for a gallon of baby oil ?

It has a high concentration of menthol (an organic compound made from corn mint, peppermint, and mint oils) that most people find pleasing and is the primary ingredient in cough drops, but it is repellent to mice and other rodents.Mar 21, 2014

I was think'in about getting a bunch of them oils, mixing them and putting in my pump sprayer and spray all around outside the camper and the house, maybe even inside the house in places. that mouse free says they incorporate something that makes it to slick for mice and other crawling critters to get a foot hold, is canola oil like that?

If it repels the mice why would you need something slick? They shouldn't be there.

well, you can buy pure menthol crystal on line, but it aint cheap (about $25/LB). curious how one could use the crystals and convert it to an oil and how much one could cut it and still be effective

We mix some lemon oil and eucalyptus oil mixed with water in a small spray bottle as mosquito repellent. It works real good at keeping all insects away and has a pleasant smell as well.

Couldn't you just get menthol rub aka Vicks Vaporub? It's at the dollar store a buck a jar. I got rid of my varmints the natural way too, local APL shelter gives away free barn cats, I got two. Never see 'em but the varmints are gone.  lots of shelters do this.
