Does this get rid of mice

You would want to dilute some peppermint essential oil in a spray bottle with water for that.

Actually, this is a really good question. I was told to wash my cabinets with peppermint soap to deter mice. Mice hate mint. That's why you should plant it around the foundation. I'm going to buy some Dr Bronner's Peppermint and try it out. At the very least, it's great soap! I usually buy the almond but I'm going to give the mint a try. Dilute! Dilute!! Okay!!!

Excuse me? Where did you ever get that idea? This is soap! Castile soap! Wash your body, wash your hair, wash your unmentionables! No where in all my years of using this product have I ever heard anyone mention, or even hint at the possiblity of, getting rid of mice! You use traps or poison with mice, not castile soaps!

I buy this stuff to use when I'm wilderness camping because it's all natural and biodegradable. You know, for when you want to bathe in the lake. I suppose you could throw the soap at the mouse and get rid of it that way. So yes.

There is a recipe online that includes Dawn dishwashing liquid, peppermint essential oil, and hot water. Soap serves as a surfactant. I just spent $16 on those ingrediants so I'm thinking a drop or two of Dr Bonners might be a less expensive solution. Especially if you clean your kitchen with it anyway. Good question.

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.

I'm not sure if this will work on rats since I use it for small mice. I think it would be worth trying and if plugging it into an extension cord be sure to stand the device upright facing the car. This may take a week or few weeks to get rid of mice/rats and once you are rid of problem u decide to unplug the device they may return! Try using the device along with one mothball in every corner of garage. I hope this will help!

I don't know. I got mine for mice inside, and it seems to work for flies and ants, but haven't tried it outside.If I were you, I'd check the Riddex Company, to ask them. Sorry, I couldn't really be of much help.

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

Don't know. It works great for mice and spiders have decreased. I have three. One in garage, one in the living area and one for three bedrooms and an office. Very very pleased. Our house was mice infested when we moved in a year and a half ago. Haven't seen one since not no droppings. Our house is 2600 sq ft.

It doesn't work. I purchased 3 & it did repel the spiders but not the mouse. I ended up buying a glue trap to get rid of it.

Denise not sure about mice don't have that problem...but I did with spiders and scorpions. However since I started using this mixed with witch Hazel, I went from finding or see spiders daily and scorpions often to not seeing them at all. And I have dog's so no concern there and the house smells great..I only reapply after mopping and when I want to freshen up the smell in the house!

Yes, if the mouse is dead. These traps work great and peanut butter really draws them in. We live in the country and have several of the traps in use.

Gosh, I don't know. But bats eat bugs, so if you can limit the bugs that might help - if that's even possible. It didn't do much to repel mice. Save your $$

I noticed mice in my home so I bought this. It is loud, so I turned it on during the day before I left for work then turned it off at night when I got home. I ran it for about 4 days and never noticed another critter! It is awesome and really worked for me. I don't even use it anymore, and think it was so annoying to the pests that they just moved on and out of my home.

I got one to deter deer which I am happy to say it seems to work. Another was placed to deter armadillos. I'm not real sure how it has affected them. They really did a number on flower beds before I got it set up. I'm not sure about rats and mice. If they are on the list for these give them a shot. Make sure that you set them up correctly. You may also have to set them up tilted down toward the ground and not on the ground. We also have neighborhood cats in our yard unaffected by this machine.

it worked for me - w live on 2nd floor in apt building. Device covers up to 5000 sq ft,BUT - it all depends on how severe your issue is. Ours was pretty bad,plus mice were living in almost every apartment in our building,so it was hard to get rid of them....We have 3 devices now,and they helped,no mice in our home anymore.Depending on your square footage,I'd recommend getting at least two devices to be on the safe side.

Hi Monika, I use this project mainly to deter squirrels from nosing around my bulbs and digging all over the place. I've never used it for mice but I can't help but think that it might work for mice and rats as well because of the ingredients. It seems to work a little for racoons and skunks so if it was me, I would try it and see how it goes. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Take care and all the best to you for the new year.
