Has anyone used it under a house to keep rats out of insulation?

I used it for a chicken yard, and it's so small, I don't think anything can get through it.....which is what I hoped for. Poison traps work well, if you keep them full. The ones where the rats or mice get in and eat from it but can't take the poison out. Good Luck!

I didn't use it under my house, I used it for chicken and bunny cages. It was very good quality and lots cheaper than other brands. I never had a failure. I bought two rolls and plan to buy more.

We had a large hole in our wall behind a cabinet that rats were getting in through. We covered the hole with this and haven't seen one since. I'm thinking it would work for insulation too as long as the mouse/rat you are dealing with won't fit though the 1/2 inch holes.

We didn't wind up using this but it will keep mice and rodents out, believe some insects might be able to get in though.

These usually are used for moths. Not sure how effective against the others, but closets, cabinets, attics, crawl spaces, hidden areas (under sinks). For rodents I use pure peppermint oil in a sprayer with bottled water, the spray where mice are present (attics, dark, hidden areas). Plus then it makes the house smell nice.

I don't think anything is mouse proof. Its a hard plastic I'm sure mice can chew through it, however it does have an airtight seal so I'm guessing that if the mice cant smell it they won't bother it. I'm not however, a rodent expert. You might wanna call an exterminator and get their input.

I put mine inside an old dog house that used to belong to a beloved pet that we've long-since buried. Just make sure the Rat Zapper is far enough inside that blowing rain won't get to it.

I definitely used it outdoors, and wouldn't recommend it. It attracts rodents, and although it's inexpensive, isn't the best choice by any means for outdoor use.

Yes, I used it successfully inside and outside against mice when I lived in an RV. Works best spread in a known path, nest, etc. of the pest.

I use mine in the garage to put under my snow blower. I do not have it taped down and it stays in place. It really absorbs all the snow that remains on the blower. No experience inside the house.

Yes, I put mine in an insulated house and my small feral cat colony is warm all winter. They have never allowed a mouse in my house or a squirrel to steal a tomato :)

Yes, I think it will, if they can get in the opening, there is no mess no noise . I just slid the rat out into a trash bag. I keep it on and haven't had any more problems. I wish I had one years ago when they told me I had roof rats in my attic, I spent a small fortune paying the critter control people. Good Luck

I had rats in the attic. I just threw some around where I saw the hole under the eves of the roof. I wore disposable gloves. Good luck!

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.

Yes. That is the only place I have used it. It has been successful for me in keeping away voles and rabbits. It also lasts after a rainfall.

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 never tried but I have one that the squirrels have eater thru the plastic top and we replaced it with a piece of 1/4 steel. They then ate thru the box and destroyed the wires in the battery box. Definitely, this unit is not varmit proof and the plastic top is most vulnerable. Unit worked fine until the squirrels destroyed it.

No not really. We ended up giving it away. The only real use for it would be for drying grass and other materials. It doesn't have a bottom so rodents can crawl in.

We've had ours for a few months, haven't had a problem. It gets pretty warm, so it isn't an environment that would support rodents, or bugs.
