Mouse & Rat Repellent: Rodent Repellent: Critter Out 32oz Concentrate

I know this is developed to detour small mice and rats. But I found an off label use for it. Flies hate it. And if you have chickens, you have flies. I like the spray nozzle on this container. I have used it all summer successfully and have bought a refill bottle and it is still going strong. No issues with the sprayer portion of the nozzle at all.

The smell is too strong. It will make the rodents go away. Its better to spray this outside around your house. Unfortunately you still need to use a mice or rat trap for those rodents that are inside your house. I tried to spray this inside of our house but it only gives me headache. The mice didn't show up for a couple of days but as soon as the smell fades, mice came back again.

The jury is still out on this purchase this based on reviews it does smell good right now September 24 not 100% that it is working 100% seems to be OK in the car but sprayed around and on a plastic trashcan with a lid in my shed that I keep deer food in and for the first time in years The mice actually ate through the lid to get to the food which they had never even bothered with before

No matter what the manufacturer claims, this stuff does indeed "burn" certain plants. I was having problems with rats chewing branches off junipers, so I tried this stuff. Within a week, they turned brown, while junipers that had not been sprayed were fine. I have not sprayed again and the plants seem to be hanging in there, though very thinned out from all the dead foliage. These were prized bonsai, some in training for 25 years and this probably set back their development for years. I'm an unhappy enough customer that I made a point of coming back to leave this review as a warning to others. Don't use this stuff on any plants you value! On top of that, I can honestly say I saw no improvement in other areas. After cleaning off and spraying down a potting bench, I found just as many rat turds as ever. Pretty poor performance for something that cost over $100 a gallon!

I didn't like the smell, it isn't that nice like the other reviewers mention. I'm not sure if it helped because I'm also using other repellents such as peppermint/clove oil and ultrasonic and traps. I can tell the population of mice shrink and most of them tend to move to other parts of the house I'm using other things to get rid of the mice. Because I didn't like the smell I used other scented oil that I can deal with inside the house like peppermint (but also getting tired of that) and clove. The most important about repelling rodents are: - only scent won't do a complete job and you also need to keep a periodic maintenance reapplying the product - if you have a big house be aware if you use the product or any other repellent in a specific area of the house you may be just forcing the rodent to move to another part of the house and the worst nightmare is if they got to the kitchen so you need to apply the repellents in other places - check the ingredients of any scent repellent as some of them can contain rotten eggs. - ultrasonic may work but be careful with the frequency range that can overlap the frequency range audible for a cat and you may also repel or disturb the cat (you don't want to get rid of the most efficient rodent repellent) - scent repellent, make sure you can deal with the smell as I learned a big deal I can stand something for long time. - if you have a good hunter cat, sometimes get the cat litter and put in a disposable clean container. Spread this container around the house may also be a warning for the rodent. - If you don't want to spray this think in your house, carpet, you can put in a cotton ball but also put the cotton ball inside of some empty and closed scent container. Why? One day the scent of the cotton ball will be gone and the rodent will use the cotton for his nest, you want to put the cotton inside of a container the rodent won't have access to like those gel scent air freshener you buy at the dollar store. Just wait for the gel to dry out, dispose the dried gel, wash the container and put the cotton ball there. You can do the same with the clove and the peppermint oil. But always remember to reload the cotton ball to keep the smell.

This works!

Good

This does work but you have to apply frequently
