Will this keep out mice?

I have no idea as to rodents. seems to be a secure closing and keeps breads fresh longer.

It would take Mighty Mouse to get into it. After 2-3 years of our daily use it looks and functions as good as new.

Not something I've ever had to worry about, but I would assume so. There would be no way for them to chew through since it's metal and the roll-out door would be too heavy to slip under or lift.

to be honest I have no idea. Not sure if it even works on Mice. I installed 3 or 4 in my house and if we are gone for a few weeks in the spring or fall, the still invade the kitchen cubbords

I didn't find it remotely effective against mice, so I can't imagine it would be effective against anything larger.

Ive had mice before and I personally wouldn't use this item for mice. yes they might get out.

Maybe it closes pretty tight it is made of metal but lid can be flipped open so it depends how large and smart the mice are

This stuff is a sprinkle application that you would need to apply to the areas you want mice NOT to go. I used under my house along the edges and reapplied often and it did seem to help. I think it would work the same way if you put it in your car. This item has a VERY strong mint odor.

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.

This trap works very well if you are up against just one mouse at a time. A nest of them in the house will result in the trap door being reopened giving the earlier captures a chance (but not always) to escape. Just be patient, they eventually slip up or set two traps at a time. It is worth it to see the look on their faces when you do catch them and they can see the look on yours through the clear door !!

Haven't tried it but I think it could work. Mice don't like the mesh and it should wrap well around the pipe with plastic zip ties.

I believe it should be capable of catching mice; but, not certain about the wire spacing and whether it would prevent the mice from squeezing through. I loaned cage to friend so I can't really measure the wire spacing and give you a good response.

no it doesn't, it didn't with mine, but it is an effective tool, it drives the mice away & keeps them away, just put it on the outlet & see what it does.

Yes. It also protects from sharp bends in very cold weather. I have 3 of these that I have had for years. They are in my community cat winter shelters. The cats love them. They keep the cats feet dry and warm. An the cats have never let a mouse in my house.

the short answer is "No". We got this to keep a skunk from bothering our chickens. Neighbor's cat visits the chicken pen regularily to hunt for mice.

The plastic covers the bottom, and there's a piece of folded cardboard to help it stay flat. The holes in the plastic that the frame goes through are a little wider than the frame pole, and bugs could conceivably crawl through, but I don't think mice could.

Just a helpful tip. Mice have poor vision and tend to stay by the walls. They are also smart and realize when something is out of place. Suggestion: leave the trap unset for several nights without bait until the mice get use to it. After a few days, set the trap with peanut butter. That way they won't be afraid of the trap. Also, be sure to set in perpendicular to the wall.

Mine didn't repel mice or chipmunks... I don't think it will help with squirrels

I think you could safely use it for that. No openings for mice to get in. I've had mine on an exposed deck all winter (near Buffalo NY). Not even a drop of water inside.
