Fresh Cab Botanical Rodent Repellent 4 Scent Pouches - EPA Registered, Keeps Mice Out

They do have a strong odor which is good for getting rid of rodents, but not too overwhelming indoors. They do work. We used these in our camper and never had mice, even though we got some in our garage. So now we use them there too. Highly recommended by many campers and camper stores. Quality product.

I’ve used these for years to keep the field mice away from our RV. Smells good and I tend to replace it at the beginning and end of the season (May/Oct). I put the used ones in my attic or covered outdoor deck area just for the heck of it.

When you have mice, you have to be proactive! I love this product because it reminds me of the Pacific Northwest where I lived for 25 yrs. My personal theory is that they are best place in a small space like the cab of my truck and not in a large room or garage. First of all, you need to find where their point/s of entry are located and seal that up! They were getting inside where the hole for plumbing was large enough for them to squeeze through. They are able to get through holes the size of a pencil. Look behind the stove to ensure the plug and wall plate are sealed. There's a hole somewhere!! If you are noticing a poo trail consistently in a certain area, put a trap along a wall ; they travel on the edges of a room. And don't use cheese, peanut butter is better. Make sure you get the peanut butter well-seated on the trigger so the mouse activates the trap. Killing them is the best remedy!! I am not obsessive about cleaning and having everything sparkling & sterile in my kitchen, especially at the end of the day, but the mice are foraging for food so don't leave it out! Mothballs are stinky, but I do leave packs of them around areas they love to chew, on the engine and especially wires for vehicles or mowers; it is a repellent like the herbal scented bags. They like the soy-based wires from China I heard. Leaving the hood of your car or truck makes it feel less safe for them, so overnight my hoods up unless the weather is nasty; they were in my garage as well as the driveway. Meanwhile, chipmunks were under the eaves of a room that was added on, and when I found turds on my couch some mornings, I had to deal with that. I have seen chipmunks use the corner trim on the exterior of the house as an access point...they just shimmy right on up. You could hear nuts rolling around overhead late at night. Sealed those entry points up as well. Toss bait packs in your crawl space if you have one. Poison and kill them. They die down there. What made the biggest difference was when I started caring for 2 stray cats! I also have an indoor cat and he keeps the fly population down. One more thing I do is mix up a batch of clove oil or cinnamon oil mixed with peppermint and spray from the outside. That seems to keep bugs at bay....but it's a process, it works for me and I have not seen a mouse in my home in years! Good luck

This is far too expensive for such short term benefits. Seemed to work well at first, but 6 weeks later the mice seemed to enjoy it. They actually pooped ON one of them, and some of the stuffing is pulled out. I get it that 6 weeks is beyond the 30 day recommended usefulness, but this stuff ain't cheap and I had hoped it would last longer.
