How long does the scent last? Would they work as liners in my kitchen cabinets, where the mice keep getting in?

Yes, it could help. I had droppings under my sink where I keep my kitchen trash can. After using the bags for about 10 days I caught 2 mice in the kitchen and no more droppings under the sink. I use 1 bag under the sink and for the 1st 2 weeks I put the trash in another bag to go outside (double bagged). It works. It's worth trying on shelves but not near dishes/glasses. Find where the mice are getting in.

It does say on the box that the smell is strongest for 3 days after taking the bag from the box, so they recommend house to outside in 3 days. The box also says it takes repeated uses for maximum rodent repelling. I find them thicker than traditional bags, and I haven't had any evidence of mice since using them

To be honest, it doesn't last that long. For the premium price, I was disappointed. I bought them to keep the raccoons out of my trash, but unless I take the trash out the day I take the bag out of the box, the scent wears off and they still tear through the bag and scatter litter all over my sidewalk. You're better off using repellant sticks or an electronic repellant device.

The scent is strong for only a couple hours at the most. A faint scent remains but whether on not it's enough to keep the mice away I wouldn't know. I buy them because I think they are a good buy as they are strong and reasonably priced.

Not sure about burn odor in an open cabinet in kitchen. I have always used these in closets and they do keep the musty odors out of closets and near clothes hampers.

I did not intend to use these for long-term storage because they are herbals. I do use herbs in my kitchen and pantry cupboards to keep bugs out, but those need to be replaced about every six months.As far as other critters go, well, if you mean mice or rats, I would doubt they would be effective. Seems those little beasties are almost like goats in their dietary choices.

depends on temp's. i get about a month of use out of them, they are sill effective even if you can not smell them tho

If the mouse dies inside the house, yes it certainly will turn odoriferous. However, it's more likely the critter will go outdoors to seek water after dining on your deadly delectibles

I have a 10x10 shed and have tossed a packet in each corner of the it. It has kept the mice away without having to resort to traps. I do have to replace them every 30 days or so, but it's been worth it.

They are peanut scented but you have to place it next to your nose to smell it. No strong smell and they work great for crickets and mice.

From personal experience, these do work, but may take a few days to actually eliminate odors. I have used them for several years in a small closet and they have worked fine. When the charcoal shrinks down, I replace them so that they will continue to work. The outer plastic and silver paper must be removed for the unit to work properly. I hope this helps.

It is hard to say exactly how long they are effective but my guess is over a month. This is how they work; a small amount of attractant is placed on sticky tape at the bottom of the trap. When that piece is covered in moths, I change the trap. There is no discernible smell to the attractant.

I bought these to use in camper over the winter, had read the ingredients in them would repel mice. But, there is almost no fragrance in them at all. Not sure they will repel mice or moths. Might be just a waste of money. Just no smell. Sorry!!!

Interesting, super rodents? Try opening bag and sprinkling it at your door openings. I use it this way every two weeks and it keeps them away. I never left mine in the bag because I wanted it in a shaker but they only had bags. My friend uses peppermint in a spray bottle he made from essential oil, he sprays his door openings and swears by it.

I would say something like a living room,garage,basement....almost a whole floor. The smaller ones I'm guessing would be used for a small bedroom or pantry. I lived in the country and had mice all the time i bought two of these things and placed one upstairs in my boys' room and one in the kitchen/dining room area and my problem was solved.

Put plenty of Havoc in the attic. The mice eat it and die before too long. They do not smell because the poisonjust makes them dry up. Put the Havoc where you can see if the packages have been eaten into so you canreplace if necessary.

They should last 6 months continuous use. They are carbon so all they are removing is odor. If you are a smoker then probably not as long, depending on your habit. I have pets and there is no problem with pet odors in the house anymore.

I put these out for spiders this past fall in the house and attic and for spiders and other bugs in the garage. You can smell the peanut butter smell when you are working with them when you first set them out. But I don't notice the smell when walking around them. And I have not attracted any mice thus far.

I don't notice any scent in my cabinet but they work great for my little dog. She is no longer a puppy but I live in a small town home and use it on my balcony when I can't walk her.

Hello. I also used this for my hedgehogs cage about this big. It last for around 5 cleanings, but I guess that all depends how much you put in. But the hedgehogs love to burrow in this stuff! It have no odor!
