This device did not work for us. Nothing seemed to be scared of it. It is a waste of money!

Not while it is on a surface. If you pick the mouse up, you will see a faint blue circle from the sensor.

The surface is partially cover with small holes. I don't know how well the mouse will do on that area. But you can use a small mouse pad. That will solve the problem.

I have done nothing to mine and have kept it outside since I bought it. I thought about wrapping it in plastic where the usb plugs in to make it outdoor safe, but have not done so. they are pretty tough. I am sure I am drastically reducing the life of mine but it is just temporary until I get a line buried.

From my understanding, this "vibrates" the wires inside the wall to work. It didn't bother any of our pets. If you have mice in the home already when you plug in, you will need to catch them. They won't go back into the walls.

We put some electrical or duct tape around the frayed wires and the end of the wand. It doesn't seem to affect the movement of the mouse. Our cats really love this toy, I wouldn't buy it otherwise. Between the wires fraying and the iffy sharp points and tiny loops where the mouse connects to the wire, the manufacturers really need to do some redesigning. We never leave it out unattended.

No, it does not do anything. We bought several and mice had parties right in front of them

We were over a year without signs of mice, but rencently had a few signs. Might work to switch to a different type. Victor makes a big model that worked well for a couple of years in my summer camp, but also recently had mice around - scat right in front of the device. It might help to switch them.

This sounds like radio interference. There's a couple of things that can cause this: people using microwaves nearby, working in a large office, hardware issue with the device, or a bad battery. My suggestion would be to try replacing the batteries on the slim chance it's just battery issue. I've had problems with all brands of wireless mice and keyboards at my last job because hundreds of people on the same floor using wireless mice. I never found a good solution other than only using wired devices or working somewhere other than the office.

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.

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.

This device did not work for my situation. Never caught a mouse or rat with the device.

For me, I felt it doesn't repel anything. I still get spiders and flies in the house. Mice, I don't know since they are nocturnal. They have never been in the house, only outdoors.

The only oil I've heard of to keep mice away is peppermint. Sorry, I can't help you.

Not well. It's basically wood chips in a pouch. If it stays dry it will be fine... I would try covering unit in hardware cloth - it comes in 1/4 inch squares and that should keep out mice.

Yes. Does not respond well. We have been using a mouse to work around this problem. Disappointed, as well, with the purchase.
