Frequently Asked Questions

Rodent Guard™ is designed for ease of application by both the professionals and DIY RV owners. Application directions can be followed to protect your asset without any previous experience in undercarriage coating application.

For effective spray of the coating, you will need a High Velocity Low Pressure (HVLP) spray gun and an air compressor to provide air to the spray gun.

You'll also benefit from a few rags for clean-ups and 2 or 3 grocery plastic bags to cover valve handles and fittings under the RV from being sprayed. 

Rodent Guard™ is not a pesticide. Rodent Guard™ barrier spray is not meant to kill, trap or otherwise control the population of mice or any other rodents in the environment where the RV is stored.

It does not! 

Rodent Guard™ base is made of non-evaporating synthetic mineral oils. Additives and agents are mechanically blended into the base and trapped within the long polymer chains of the product for near indefinite preservation. This means a single application of coating will effectively protect an RV from for as long as it is placed in storage.

If your RV is sitting in storage, there's no reason to re-apply the coating. Once taken on the road however, dirt and moisture from the road surface will gradually remove and degrade the coating effectiveness. Rodent Guard™ recommends annual re-application just before seasonal storage.

Rodent Guard™ is non-toxic to humans and pets alike. Pets will not appreciate the bitter taste of Rodent Guard if curiosity leads them to try it out.

Rodent Guard™ gives off a faint peppermint / pine scent during application, but the smell will be reduced within hours and becomes undetectable after 24 hours of coating.

Rodent Guard™ can be applied at any time of the year but the ideal application period is in mid-late fall as part of your annual winterization just before the RV is put in seasonal storage

No. Once a surface a uniformly coated, there's little benefit in over application. Excessive coating will waste the product and result in dripping off saturated surfaces

A paint brush can technically be used to apply the coating, however it makes for a cumbersome and messy application process to ensure all nooks and crevices are properly covered.

If you own a pneumatic or electrical High Velocity Low Pressure (HVLP) spray gun, you may use that to apply the coating but the spray pattern may not be as good as a long barrel spray gun that is meant for viscous solution spraying. Rodent Guard™ sells specially designed long barrel spray guns for optimal coating application.

There's no need for that. As long as there are no visible chunks of dirt stuck to the undercarriage, chassis beams, and axel(s), the product can be applied directly over dusty surfaces.

Yes. Underlaying moisture does not impact adhesion or effectiveness of Rodent Guard™

No. Rodent Guard™ can be sprayed at any temperature. The solution becomes more viscous in colder temperatures and requires higher air pressure to spray out.

It does not! Unused solution can be stored indefinitely for future application.
