Does this work for Rats? We have had trouble in the engine compartment of our RV. What would you recommend ?

It works on mice, but not for rats. I think they have one formalated for rats, tho. Look at the website. That's the best I can offer.

I'm sure it would , you just have to spray every few days for a while as the smell seems to wear off a bit after a few days . Also you can take SOS pads and put them in smaller holes. Rodents seem to like to squeeze in places instead of just go in big openings . It makes them feel safer . Good luck !

There is another rodent defense which is for rats also. We purchased it also.I think it works great but you have to get past the fox urine smell. We sprayed it around our house outside.It worked in keeping the mice away. Botanical Rodent Repellent works great under your hood. We have one taped in theengine. Smells like incense. You cannot smell it in the car.

Even the mice came right back. Don't know if it would help under the hood or not, or whether it would help with rats. Or not.

Sorry, never had rats, and don't know if it would work on them or not. Maybe contact manufacturer

NO, I think it is for groundhogs specifically and it worked beautifully on my two properties. Look at this companies other products to deter rats. Personally I think you must contact a reputable rodent specialist. You have got to be aggressive and use the best traps and bait. Good luck and get this handled as soon as possible. They can breed out of control an destroy wiring and spread disease. Yucko.

I've used it for several years and it has worked beautifully on mice and squirrels (judging from critters the people around me have fought), but I don't know about rats.

Go with spayed/neutered barn cats. We had a mice family that moved into our grill. We bought this and peppermint oil; neither worked. We just keep the grill cover open constantly.

I originally purchased this product as a solution to a rat infestation. I live in the country, surrounded by grain fields and every fall I get a migration of rats. This product completely, and efficiently repelled any unwanted boarders. I've found it repels squirrels as well but have not had it long enough to honestly know if it works on skunks too. It does warn not to use it around cats and dogs so I assume it aggravates larger animals as well. I purchased two, one for each floor of the house and have been vermin free since.

Have you hosed it out? I gets leaves & crud in it, I even had a rat with a nest in one of mine!! Got rid of him fast!! I have 3 of then & hose out regularly. Try it!

I have no idea. You need to contact the manufacturers to find out about what it would do to your car. I didn't buy it for my car because there are no rodents in my car.

haven't had this specific problem but it works for animals and rodents and is not harmful to them - I think I would try saturating the steps with the spray nozzle and make sure to repeat every four to six weeks or as needed until the little guy gets the idea. And, you could put some peanuts in the shell in another location and feed him so he has food. Sounds like he's hungry :) I would give this a try. Maybe bleach off the step first to get rid of any residue, make sure it is sealed and then spray it with the ropel. I should think it would work. It's the best we have found for deterring rodents.

I got one to deter deer which I am happy to say it seems to work. Another was placed to deter armadillos. I'm not real sure how it has affected them. They really did a number on flower beds before I got it set up. I'm not sure about rats and mice. If they are on the list for these give them a shot. Make sure that you set them up correctly. You may also have to set them up tilted down toward the ground and not on the ground. We also have neighborhood cats in our yard unaffected by this machine.

I would think that it would work on rats also. I have not had any rats (I don't think) just mice, shrews and ants.

I honestly don't know about rats but why not give it a try? It's not that expensive. I heard it gives off a high pitch tone that bothers their ears. Good luck!

I was having rodent problems in my sports car which I park outside, but covered. Since I have used this, the rat(s) have gone elsewhere. they no longer chew on my spark plug cables. I put it on top of the manifold when Im not driving the car. I think it tends to work in a 360 degree arc

I have two problem areas, the kitchen and the upstairs bathroom over the garage. The Pest A Cator Plus 2000 has a pretty big range, but I still needed one in each area. For an RV I think one will do it depending on the size. I'd plug it in closest to the most problem area. You may still hear the mice for a day, but then they're gone. Since I have the two units, there's been no evidence of mice.

I recommend hosing it down. That's the easiest way I have found to clean this habitat. If you don't have a hose, then placing it into a bath tub works too. But then you have to clean up the tub afterwards.... The bottom gets rusty after about a year. I have 2 boy rats. They're medium rats and I think the cage is just about the right size.

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

As far as I can tell, it repels nothing. I bought two. One I mounted under the hood. After two weeks they (mice) built a nest on top of it. They other I put in the cab. Rodent droppings persist. SAVE your money
