Why is it that some say this repels mice great and others say it doesn't work at all? How can both statements be true?

I bought my devices to repel bats and have had great successes.The only thing I can think of for mice, is how the people set up the devices.Makes a difference with bats.Why don't you call or email the owner. He is great about responding.

I have no idea. I did not have any luck with it so....my feedback wouldn't be a good one.

Well, that is a good question. I am one of the reviewers that swore by these things, but now, they don't seem to work as well as they used to. My husband and I have a theory that the mice get used to the sound after a while. So we have decided that we won't leave them on all the time and just use them in the fall, when mice are looking for places to bunk down for the winter, and then once winter sets in, unplug them. We've heard that when mice find their winter homes, they stay there, so we're hoping that our plan will work next fall...

I think they work as long as you set it to keep changing the frequency and range of the device. Make sure to read the directions.

I just purchased some Great Stuff Pro series "PESTBLOCK" foam. The stuff is a green color. The can says that it will block mice. Probably has something in it that mice don't find palatable.

For me, I felt it doesn't repel anything. I still get spiders and flies in the house. Mice, I don't know since they are nocturnal. They have never been in the house, only outdoors.

Thats messed up, poor bat. That glue board is super sticky and holds. I use the glue boards flat and inside the tincat trap. But heres something I personally experienced. I placed a tincat trap with the glue board in it in a very mouse infested area just before night fall. Early the next morning I checked the trap, it was empty. There were so many mice caught that night that they urinated them selves loose from the glue. Of corse there was lots of fur too. But it seems that the glue can be loosened with worm soapy water. (the tincat is not effective without the glue boards)

Yes, it keeps mice and rats completely away from your home (including inside the walls). Remember, you have to give it a couple weeks to work completely. When you plug it in, make sure it's on the correct setting and then leave it alone.

I put peanut butter in the hole and it catches mice 90% of the time. The other 10% they eat the peanut butter and don't get caught. One thing I do is put the trigger side next to a wall. That seems to work well.

I'm not sure, I just know it works pretty well on small rodents... sorry I couldn't be of more help

We use it for mice. It seems to work for that. It has various settings for other animals. The only thing you can do is try it. Experimenting with the adjustments may help. Nothing is 100%

I tested it against several other mice. When clicked a few inches from my ear, they were all about the same. However, when using this mouse, I can't hear any click noise like I can with the other mice. I wonder if the sound gets muffled in the shape.

I have used it yo repel fleas and ticks for two years and it works great. I haven't actually had a dog with fleas that I have used it on. So I can't say it 100% kills them, but it foes repel

My experience is that the Solar Pest Repeller was ineffective. I can't specifically respond to voles but it didn't appear to affect gophers, squirrels, mice or other rodents.

Does it work. Well I put it in my basement and after a few weeks I was working down there only to see a mouse running around. So I would say it might deter some but not all

There are dozens of videos with different kinds of rat traps on YouTube -- look for rat trap -- you will see some failures and successes... It's amazing to see how a tiny mouse can get the bait without tripping the trap... but it seems to work 80% of the time. You can always try pushing the bait further into the trigger mechanism. That seems to work better. Make them dig for it. Sounds like a mixture of peanut butter and oatmeal works well.

I have used the deer repellent in the past in PA and it worked like a charm on bunnies too. I have no bunnies here in NH, but this is doing a good job keeping deer away too. It is not working on voles. I don't know if the ingredients are different, but it smells about the same.

I can only vouch for this product. Until the question was asked, I never tried this experiment with this mouse or any other mice.

Dunno, I don't have fleas, but it does not seem to work on much. I have it, as instructed, plugged it into the wall where nothing is obstructing it and watched a small critter crawl up the wall not less than 3" away from it. I watched and waited for it to have a seizure or start walking in circles, but he crawled up in a straight line without concern until I had to squash it. I am doubtful this product works very well and wish I could get my money back to buy another bright idea that is supposed to eradicate.
