My husband is against this. He claims it will attract rodents. Can anyone support or dispel his concern?

If used properly this would no more attract rodents than your regular sewage drain attracts rodents. We have had this in use for over a year with 3 large dogs and creates a "poo station" next to the drain with 6-12x12 pavers where we keep a 5 gallon bucket and the waste scoopers. We also have a spigot that is about 2 feet from the station and we use a 6 foot hose and run it the whole time we are picking up dog waste. The 5 gallon bucket is critical if you don't pick up your waste before it dries up. We put the waste in the bucket and fill with water and let it sit to soften before dumping down the Doo Drain.

It is closed all the time & only open for a few minutes when used. We've had no problems. We live in Hawaii so no big temperature shifts to affect it adversely.

No rodents here. The doggy poop goes directly into the sewer line through a cap that unscrews. It sticks up in the back yard and is called a "clean out valve". I cannot imagine why he would think it would attract rodents.

I don't think so. I think it has almonds and other yummy stuff in it They almost become addicted to it. It does not attract ants either, I think if I put out something with molasses and peanut butter in it I would have an ant and yellow jacket problem. I do use a "Rat Zapper" for my critters too. It is really cool. I do put a small piece of cracker with peanut butter on it and the deal is done. I dispatched 5 rats in one evening. I think it was a family. I just kept emptying it and before long I had another one. It is great for mice too. I bought it from Amazon too.

The literature that comes with the item makes suggestions, and the business owner makes himself available to answer questions. We did not purchase the item for rodents but for bats. It took several weeks to work because the place the bats were in was difficult to reach. The owner worked with us all that time until we succeeded.

It works well with roaches! No more roaches in my house! Don't know about squirrel or mice as mice did not run away at all in the garage! You might find some food to trap them they eat and run away to get water and die or never come back in my garage or garden ( mice)! Good luck and happy new year!

I didn't use any mouse attractant. I used with bait only. I used veggies to get rid of voles and peanut butter for mice. Some times the trigger didn't seem to lock but if I shook off or tapped on a hard surface to shake off any dirt, the trigger locked fine.

This doesn't have any way of baiting the trap - it works by getting the mole/gopher to run into the trap when it's placed in their tunnel. A rat out in the open probably wouldn't enter this trap.

I bought it to get rid of bats. I really do not know if it works for rodents.

I have only caught mice with the trap. And I can tell you it has been quite successful at that task. I haven't placed it near my garden so I cannot be sure it would not catch voles or moles. However, Victor never mentions catching voles or moles in any of their descriptions of their product. So I think you should probably invest your money else ware in dealing with your particular infestation.

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. =)

Used it to deter mice in the attic...both chipmunks and mice are rodents...could work. May have to reapply it fairly often if used outside...q 2-3 days, maybe. Not harmful just a deterrent..I like that aspect.

I would think this trap would work wonderfully for rats. I've caught chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits with... mice however, would more than likely be too small.

I don't think any rodents can get in but, bugs can. I hope that helped! Michael.

I have only killed mice in mine. Rats may be too smart for it, not sure. Only one at a time though - they are too smart to go in it when a dead one is in there.

The does warn against putting it anywhere other animals can get to it. It is full of seeds, so I think squirrels would be attracted to it.

Hi, I'm going to take a stab at it and say "yes." I bought this unit because I had this annoying little mouse that I don't know how he got into my apartment but all I know is--after I put the unit up, he's gone! I think the unit works as a result of the ultrasound waves it emits which I'm sure would have some kind of effect on a raccoon, possum, mouse, rat or any small animal of similar stature who would be susceptible to the ultra sonic waves.

Asked my husband who has a doctorate in electrical engineering. Nothing to worry about as long as there is no gas leak. If there was a gas leak a nearby light switch would be just as dangerous. Be sure to put enough bait to keep the rodents engaged. A little almond butter was useless. Had to add more bait (horse treat works for me, but there are a lot of suggestions out there) Hope this helps!

I havent caught anything other than rats but thats because i used it indoors. If you put bait that attracts squirrels i would imagine it will catch them. I would suggest looking for a "humane rodent trap" that wont harm them if you are worried about that
