EarthKind EMW7208598 Fresh Cab Rodent, Rats and Mice Repellent With Blend Of Plant Fiber and Botanical Extracts For Use On The Farm, Industrial Settings, Garage or RV, 2.5 Ounce x 4 Scent Pouches

I love cats, hate their fur everywhere, but dislike mice more. So I keep and enjoy having these effective rodent predators despite their furniture clawing. This fall I noticed a boost in their hunting activity and was seeing mouse evidence in my basement. Watching the cats, I could see that the mice were traveling out of their reach over the dropped ceiling and I couldn't find their entry. November 6th, I bought this and placed three packs in the area where I saw evidence. I put the fourth at the other end of the basement just because I keep food there. The smell was strong but pleasant, but I actually saw a mouse as I was placing one and the smell didn’t seem to bother it. After a day or so, I couldn't smell the packs anymore, so I doubted their effectiveness. But, I also stopped seeing evidence completely for about two weeks. It's been almost three months and I have seen a little evidence, but only once or twice, and my cats are not acting like there's any mice to hunt. So, I'm ordering a fresh supply. It seems to help. I'll share that, after the loss of a previous cat , I had placed cotton swabs with peppermint oil to deter mice. The scent did deter them but needed constant refreshing, but I do know that the smell has an effect. Perhaps the mice can smell these pouches even when I no longer can?

I’ve bought Fresh Cab for several years now for my RV. So far it has worked very well. Now, is it because there aren’t any mice in the area? I doubt it. I used to see them scurrying under my neighbors deck.

I think Fresh Cab works. I've been using it in my motorhomes during winter storage for the last five years. No mice.! BUT this fall I put one of the Fresh Cab packets under my home sink. This morning we caught a wily, elusive, white footed mouse. So does Fresh Cab work? Up until this week I would have said 'Yes". I do use more Fresh Cab in my motor home, possible the stronger smell keeps them away. So make sure you get a couple boxes and place them by each possible entry ie pipes, electric lines, water lines. The smell airs out quite rapidly when we open up the motorhome in the spring. I open the windows and door as I am preparing for our first trip.

After purchasing our new Crownline boat and planning to keep it in a storage facility through the winter, I wanted to use some kind of rodent repellent to keep the boat protected from infestation. I chose this product. It came with four pouches of repellent in the box. I put two of them in the bilge and two in the front storage areas of the boat. I was happy to see that when I picked up the boat from storage in the spring there was no sign of rodents. These pouches smell like a mix of pine and patchoulli to me, which I'm not crazy about. Fortunately after a day of airing the boat out each spring it has that new boat smell again, and no sign of the repellent smell. I will be reordering each fall to continue preventing rodents from taking up winter residence in our boat! UPDATE: After seven years of storing our boat through the winters in a barn and faithfully using this product I can say that we have never experienced any sort of rodent infestation. I am a believer!

While it may not be recommended, I use a couple of these in my mom’s van that sits in mouse country. Under the hideaway seats in the floorboard — no more intruding mice. Just be sure to replace every six months!

In fact, it seems to attract them. I put 2-3 inside the housing for my John Deere lawn tractor, and few other similar pieces of equipment. On the upside, gave my workshop a nice, redolent smell of cedar and such -- my workshop now smells very 'new age'. But, when I checked on the bags a few days later, 80% of them had been chewed on, eaten by the mice I'm trying to 'inhibit'. Seeds and bag contents everywhere (PITA to clean out of my machines). For the price (which is pretty steep), these thing should work like 'rodent kryptonite'. They don't. I took my remaining order, and tucked them into wooden storage trunks and such -- they do smell nice. As far as anti-mouse stink, I've reverted to mesh bags filled with mothballs. Definitely don't smell as nice, but haven't had a mouse come anywhere near my equipment since.

It works great. Used it for years. The best.

Was not clear that it was not for outdoors. Also upset it is costing me $8+ to return it. Ripoff
