Some say this repels mice and others say they trap mice near the bags. Do you also have to set out traps if you use this?

No traps-I have too many small animals that could potentially get hurt and since it repels mice they aren't around to get trapped.They work very well , I use no poisons on this farm so was glad when I found these. I use plenty if the space is large be sure you put out enough, I find the herbal smell is pleasant

After having gone through two major repairs back to back costing about$7500, I had the engine area steam cleaned and have been using above product together with repellent spray and sonic deterrant device. It's been almost two months, and rats have not returned. My case is a bit extream but I am not taking any chances.

No you do use traps or need them. It repels mice. I used it for 3 yrs. And have not any mice. I swear by this product.

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.

I've seen it used for ferrets before, and they survived. I know mice also have a sensitivity to those same woods, but I use it for all of mine and haven't had any problems. =)

I have used this under my main feeder as a trap, but the birds do fling husks and seed so it is not a cure-all. I have put plastic garbage bags cut open, under the seed feeder to catch the debris and empty it at night. That works well. Keeps the rats and mice from coming in also.

Don't know about mice because I have a cat, but it certainly repels bugs. Get a sweet cat and your mice problems are over.

I have had this product for several years and it still works on rats & mice. I have the bucket of packs. I won't do without it and do not use those others! 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.

No it doesn't, I put it on during late July and I traveled the next day for 3 weeks. I came back and didn't see any mouse for two days then one night I heard some noise in the kitchen and was worried and the next morning I saw two running in the bathroom. I live in a small studio and I have installed 3 of those repellents betweeb the kitchen and living room then one in the bathroom. It is not worth it. Try peppermint oil. it works

I captured the results on video tape. I had mine in a 10' X 10" laundry room 3' from point of entry and it became an eventual deterrent to mice. After they had reentered once or twice they decided not to come back. A rat we had required other measures.

They are similar to large "Tea" Bags. You put the bags UNOPENED in spaces that might be where mice might pass through. It really seems to keep mice away. I used them in my motorhome and no mice. The smell is "woodsy" but very pleasant!

Mice probably wouldn't set off this trap, but if you have a lot of rats, you don't even need to bait them. Just set several traps up where the rats travel and you will be amazed at how many you will catch...I know I was!

Any should work, but other baits are possible. Have they already caught mice? If so you may need to boil them to get rid of the scent.

I would think it would not attract rodents, even though mice can get thru the smallest of holes (which go right down to the bottom of the unit). When I put food scraps into the bin, I put it at least 6 inches away from the edge, covering it well with leaves/brown material. If you are still worried, I suggest a screen around the lower half of the bin. That would keep the air flowing, but not sure the mice would get under the screen anyway. I tried a tarp (not for mice), but it got too dry. Looks like no one else is having mouse issues either. Good Luck.

I have not been able to trap anything in this trap. I would not recommend. Also the bar that keeps the doors shut lifts off extremely easily once moved. If i were to ever trap anything in it I would use electrical ties to keep door closed for transport.

It works very well for meadow voles, I usually place a bit of peanut buttering the small compartment opposite the holding compartment. (Remove top panel and determine which end of trap holds trapped animals, on opposite side of mechanism, smear a spoonful of peanut butter on a wall or floor of trap away from moving parts).Most small mammals will enter trap without bait as they explore entrance but many more are attracted by aroma of bait (and also by other voles once trapped).

This trap will only catch 1 mouse or chipmunk at a time. If you have a mouse infestation, a water bucket trap may work better (although heartless).

They seem to draw the mice to them!!! I've bagged more mice this year than ever before. Got four this last week. The previous week was about three. So they don't deter them in the least.

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.
