Exterminators ChoiceRodent Defense Spray for Cars and Trucks - Non-Toxic Deterrent for Pest Control - Repels Mice and Rats - Vehicle Protection - Safe for Kids and Pets (1 Gallon)

Living in the country rodents can be a problem especially on a vehicles electrical wiring after using this product I have no more problems with rodents and it smells good . Great product will definitely buy again !

I have found this effective and safe for vehicle engine and chassis use, as well as others listed below. I'd agree with label and recommend wearing gloves and eye protection- don't spray if it's breezy. While non-toxic, the oils used can irritate the skin, and unlike many of the interior intended organic sprays the EC Vehicle version has white pepper- all of which easily cleaned off with soap and cold water- and the eyes- flushing with cold water for 15 min helps. The real key to success is shaking the product before, during, during, during, during (get it?) use. It is mostly water with various essential oils. If you don't shake it constantly, you aren't getting the intended product. I have found this to be the case with ALL such peppermint.rosemary, etc oil products with a water base- and this is 99.4% water and vinegar). It is not enough to shake a bit at the beginning. Shake it vigorously, then keep shaking as you go. Heard the expression "oil and water don't mix"? I am guessing that is why individual results vary so much. I'll be the first to admit that shaking a gallon container, especially when full or near full is not easy but it must be done. Also- the sprayer has a hose that comes wound up. It a PITA to get it straightened enough for use. Why does this matter? Because when you insert into the jug, it curls up. When I get a new one I do my best to leave it out of the package in the sun and manually try to straighten it , then hang it from a hook with the sprayer at the bottom to keep it mostly straight. I also set the tube in the jug close to the bottom, and mark the tube at the lid-entry point with a permanent marker so I can see if it moves when I use it. I have had very good success with my pick-up (which required hours of mechanic labor to figure out a mouse had crawled inside the timing belt and derailed it), a Subaru (whose firewall insulation attracts mice who devour it), around a metal garage, around the base of hot tub, concrete block wall, wood shed, etc. It is the most effective organic repellent I have used for mice, rats, chipmunks. It isn't designed to kill, but repel. Living in rural places, these creatures are naturally in the environment. Keeping them out of places you don't want them is the best you can do- year round, so you have to use the spray once a month to be effective, more often if you live in a rainy area. I have used this while living on an island in the Puget Sound (wet), and in the mountains of Colorado (mostly dry at altitude 6-7 months a year, then extreme cold and snow). It's just not buy and spray- which many consumers expect. As for the price- per ounce, shipped, the gallon is a much better value- AS LONG AS YOU shake, shake, shake, shake. As for containers arriving partially full, my advice is only use Amazon for purchase and fulfillment. One other note: Check the contents when it arrives- and if it fit appears to have leaked or feels way too light to be a gallon (Amazon lists item weight at 8.74 pounds, which makes sense because a gallon of water weighs 8.34 lbs) - save any packaging, take pictures, even weigh the jug or pour the contents into another gallon container and submit the request to Amazon. I have never had a problem getting Amazon to address any properly documented liquid item that arrived "light', but 3rd party sellers may be much slower to respond and much less likely to address. Amazon always shows who sells and fulfills, so pay attention and make sure you follow-up quickly if you have a bad shipment.

Have a squirrel problem. So far this is working

We live in the country and the rodents are especially bad this year. We've become best buds with the auto mechanic since the rats and squirrels LOVE noshing on our wires. I like the scent and I think the rodents don't. It seems to be working. BUT you need to shake it regularly (which isn't a problem) and spray regularly (we do it nightly). My main issue is the sprayer sucks. The last bottle we received didn't squirt at all. I ended up substituting a sprayer from another bottle.

I have been using this for several years after experiencing electrical damage to three vehicles from rodents chewing wiring. I use it every month during cold weather and maybe every 2 months when it is hot or warm, spraying an. Rodents also chew the insulation on the underside of the hood itself and this is no longer a problem.
