I'm not sure if deters rats but the safest way to keep rodents out is to keep doors closed plug any openings with steel wool n keep the home clean if they can't find stuff to eat they will move in

U mean keeping rats out or housing rats?either way I would say that the outdoor space needs to b better secured. The piece provided will not keep vermin out.

I used this under my house, major mistake. It killed a few and then they began to stink. What finally wound up working was mechanical means, traps. I did my research and bought a dozen, baited without setting them, got hem used to eating there and then, on a Saturday morning, I set them with bait. Wham-o 10 of 12 traps had rats in them on Sunday morning. I repeated the process the following week, only getting 3 and wonder of wonders, no more rats under my house.

Can Rodent Defense be sprayed on my golden retriever to prevent flea and tick infestation?

I'd think under a mobile home would be ideal...it's protected from the weather and in the rodent's domain.

I use them in a trailer in the mountains and they have kept it mouse free for the summer. They last for a month, but they are effective. If the problem is severe, place the packets under the hood, but I don't know if you could leave them in while driving. Otherwise, place them around the garage floor, this should keep them at a distance. Good luck!

I only had one and its ben a month since I sprayed. A combination of spray and traps should help.

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.

Yes you can. If the hole is rather large, stuff with broken-up bits of solid foam board first. This spray greatly expands, so little goes a long way. I doubt the rats would each much of it anyway. Don't use around window frames, foam expansion may crack the frame. And don't get it on your hands, it'll be with you for a long time !

I've used mine in my attic but I have 2 neighbors who use theirs outside and we all have had excellent results. I sometimes use peanut butter and sometimes use bacon with dog food. So far last winter I got 5 rats. Now I'm going to put it outside in a protected area and hope I get the squirrels that rob my pecan and almond trees.

This product worked extremely well for my mole and vole problem. If the rats are in a confined space it will work. However, the carbon monoxide is dangerous and must be contained.

Probably too small and the rat version, too large. How about using a humane trap and setting them free far away from your home?

I doubt it very much. To be sure, I would write or Email the Company. You don't want to leave this stuff lying about outside as it will poison many other animals, not just rodents.

I don't visualize your opening. Mine zips up completely with no holes for critters to creep inside the tent. I think I'd check the tent thoroughly for holes made/chewed by rats from the outside. I don't have an answer for rat repellents to keep them away from chewing the tent. I don't keep anything that would attract rats, just bikes and garden equipment. Good Luck! Patsy

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 !

Call the company and ask them to send you the instructions for testing. However, when I spoke with them, they mentioned that a very fast mouse might be able to get in an out with the bait before the sensor went off. Also if the unit is dirty or a rat has very long nails (to keep the flesh from contacting the electrical plate), it might also be able to get in and out. The solution to that, they suggested, was to put a wet cloth or paper towel just outside the opening. The wet feet will make better contact with the electrical plates. (They can also send you instructions for cleaning the plates, just in case that's the problem.)

I have two of these traps and where I live in Sherman Oaks Calif we have what is called tree rats and they are not real large. I found a piece of bacon is good bait I piece in the back of the trap so the rat has to enter and it is trapped inside. I put a piece of bacon on the outsid as chum. I catch about three rats a week.
