These guys love chewing on shoes and thongs!
PESTS
After you’ ve pulled up for the day and think you’ ve found that perfect campsite, there’ s nothing worse than finding it’ s the campsite from hell. Pests may not always be easy to control, but you can pay close attention to where you set-up.
If you’ re parked by trees and vegetation, look up and then down on the ground for any tell-tale signs, particularly if the area is renowned for bats, possums, and other tree-loving critters. Their noise is one thing after dark, but removing their poop from vehicle and RV paint can be a challenge – it’ s something you want to avoid. Some places are notorious for their pests, although less likely to be bothersome if you can remove a food source. We’ ve found that dingoes, quolls and rodents love to get into everything. Rodents in particular like the warmth under a vehicle’ s bonnet, so leave the bonnet up for a short while to help everything cool down.
Standard inclusion each time we travel.
As a general camping rule, avoid leaving any food and rubbish around your campsite, and the same goes for any buckets containing wastewater. Also, get into the habit of putting things away nightly to help deter unwanted guests from pinching them. It happens! Things like shoes, thongs and other chewable items are regular animal favourites, so remember to put them away.
