How long does this last in the basement and/or house?

aloha dean, unsure how long it would last. we sprinkled this product in all the spaces between the rock walls and buildings at our inn, and so far, no more mice. we've been testing it for two weeks now.

smells good - but doesn't work. though it did mask the smell of a dead mouse in my garage. smell lasts a little over 2 weeks.

I didn't use it in my home but I used it outside for a skunk and it never came back...

It last a long time in the house and I am not sure about basement except to say weather the basementis damp or not. If dry it would last quiet awhile. I use it in my screen room and it gets cool and hot livingin Florida but have not had to replace it in the last 3 months. I really like the product. I never tried it to repel squirrels only mice. For outside critters you want one that has Fox urine in it.

This product was absolutely ineffective when I tried to use it to repel squirrels from a garden. I think it does nothing.

I've had a case in the basement that has went at least a year over expiration and still tastes fine!

mine lasted for two summers. It was only used during the summer in our basement. Keep your receipt for warranty claims. Most manufacturers will offer 5 years for sealed compressors which is what usually fails.

I am in Arizona ... where the humidity is low. It usually lasts about 10-12 hours. I fill it up twice a day if I'm running it 24/7.

I suppose it depends on the nature of the place in which you keep the item. In my basement I find that I take it out to bright sunshine about once every two to three years.

I believe it says to leave the test on the basement for at least 48 hours but no longer than 72 hours. The instructions specify the length of the test. Then you mail it in. We heard via email in about 2 weeks.

I've had mine hanging in my basement for about a year and haven't had any problems. I use it regularly but haven't moved it since I first hung it up. I live in Michigan and my basement stays 50-65 F.

Best is to keep it in a freezer, however it will last along time in a cool dark area like in the basement.

Certainly in a basement, not certain about the crawl space but probably...we turned our unit to the higher speed and it is 90% humidity where we are in the am and 34% when we return in the late afternoon. We are temporarily in a tiny apt but will run it full time in our house later.

Hello from Baltimore. We bought this system months ago when our basement was really damp. I still have more than half a bag of the crystals left and there isn't a trace of dampness left in our basement. It is somewhat dependent on how much moisture is in the room if you can't keep it reasonably monitored (say every two days). However, if you keep watch and pour out the water every other day or so it should last for quite some time. Just to give a little better perspective, we have a big house with a full cellar. It works wonders for us. Hope I've helped.

I use this device a lot in my cleaning business so they only last about 2 to 3 weeks. I would guess several months with normal household use.

The label states that it is stable at room temp for 30 days after opening. It is a large pump jug, so my residence doesn't use it up quite that fast. We have kept the jug at room temp for 3-4 months without noticing any problems whatsoever.

After you open depending on room temperature. In a 60 degree basement 8 months or longer, puddy gets a little stiff but still workable

We have had this unit for about a year. No problems with it, we have it in our basement, so it doesn't get used to much. When we do use it, very happy with it.

This unit was purchased for use in a basement so it would be difficult to compare to indoor use. Sorry

We have had ours going, every day and night, for over a year. Still very good, with minimal care. We do, however, have to empty it twice a day. The capacity of the hold tank is not as large as we need. BTW-Our basement does not leak but it is an old stone wall basement with concrete floor.

depends on your settings. it lasts me approx 24 hours. My heat has been running more than usual in this cold weather we have been getting. I can say I am happy with it. easy to fill, does a good job. I currently use it in my bedroom.
