I have squirrels that moved into the attic while we had removed fascia and under pending on the house. Will peppermint oil work in this fogger????

I have one of these foggers but have never tried peppermint oil in it. If you have a Home Depot store near you that does tool rental I would rent one from them before you spend the money to buy one. Try the peppermint oil in it and see if it works. We use our fogger from mold remediation. good luck

I had asked the rep and was told that any thin oil viscosity similar to water can be fogged thru tri jet . do not fog flammable liquids though ! iwanted to use neem oil myself and it has amazing coverage in garden. I hate pests!

I mix 2% Peppermint oil, 2% Spearmint oil in a bottle of scented Mineral oil. I then soak sponges placed in a 'margarine' container and place around areas I want to restrict. I will also put some in a spray bottle and spray entrance areas (crawl space doors, barn doors, etc.) and inside drawers in a barn or garden shed. This oder does need replenishing depending on the amount of air exchanges in the area. I do the treatment in the early Fall to keep them out rather than try to drive them away after they have nested. I have been doing this for several years and it appears to work. Hope this helps.

I needed peppermint oil for...squirrels. Yup they moved into my ceiling and Google told me to soak cotton balls in peppermint oil and toss them up there. Bought this stuff & worked like a charm. Gave the bottle to my daughter when I was finished with it and she made homemade sugar scrub using the peppermint oil - I got the first batch & I love it! Very useful product from homemade bath products...to squirrels!

Hey Jim - I purchased the Victor M792 but it didn't do a thing to deter the mouse problem we had. I also tried the peppermint oil trick that people posted, but that was a farce too - the mice ate the cotton balls we put in the vents! So, I have nothing to advise apart from old fashioned traps.

We used havahart critter ridder on skunks that forage on our yard. It seems to work for awhile, but they got used to the smell or the water from the sprinkler system washed it out. If it worked, it was only temporary. And then, they were back......

I use this product in my bird seed and the squirrels stay away. It is an oil and I don't know how it would work for veggies and flowers.

Since the Pest-a-Cator doesn't affect dogs, I'm not sure if it would be effective on raccoons or 'possums. I read that it will deter squirrels in attics if set up properly, however. Try contacting the manufacturer via their web site (also see their FAQ's); perhaps they can give you a better idea if the product might work for raccoons. It has worked well for our mouse problem!

I live in wooded area in northern MN. Lots of squirrels attracted to squirrel-proof bird feeders... Squirrels crawl up over warm engine blocks of vehicles parked jusr outside of garage doors. nibble on electrical wire coverings and heater components. Very expensive repairs... I purchased POBD-1-02 several weeks ago, plugged it into garage wall socket, and all squirrels immediately disappeared from my yard! Now, several weeks after I installed the pest control unit in my garage, I saw squirrels in both my front and backyard bird feeders. Unplugged and moved pest control unit to new closer wall location, squirrels didn't leave... Please advise...

Tried a fogger and it didn't work...Precor works great...but be careful as it leaves a hard wood floor very slippery if you over spray...It stays slippery for days if oversprayed...Must have an oil base, but after a month still no fleas...

I've used mine in my attic but I have 2 neighbors who use theirs outside and we all have had excellent results. I sometimes use peanut butter and sometimes use bacon with dog food. So far last winter I got 5 rats. Now I'm going to put it outside in a protected area and hope I get the squirrels that rob my pecan and almond trees.

Absolutely! The fleas will run for cover, but can not escape. It's also kills head lice. I will never be without my Neem oil. I researched this oil for hours and believe me when I say stop wondering if it's a good product because I will swear by it!!!!!

Go with spayed/neutered barn cats. We had a mice family that moved into our grill. We bought this and peppermint oil; neither worked. We just keep the grill cover open constantly.

If you want it to get rid of mice, it doesn't work, I used two bottles on cotton wool, I also emptied electric air fresheners and filled them with the peppermint oil. I also used an electronic high pitched noise that is supposed to get rid of mice. It didn't work. Don't waste your money. Ring your local council, their services are free

I doube it will work. I used it to scare rabbits and squirrels from the yard. It works for a couple of days, then they came back. As long as they have a nest nearby, they will get used to the smell in a few days.

I am not sure whether or not roaches like or dislijke the peppermint oil; fortunately I haven't had a problem with roaches. However, it really does the trick for getting rid of rodents.

Not sure I see much improvement. I ordered 4 units for 3500 house. My major problem is squirrels on the attic. 2 units are placed on the attic, 2 around the house. I do not see mice in the house, but it was not a problem before. I have cat in the house, he used to catch may be 1-2 mice per year I still have ordinary mouse traps on the attic and it would catch 1-2 per month in winter. With those devices - my "mice crop" is definitely reduced, but they are still here :-) But it seems have no effect on squirrels on the attic - I still hear them almost every day.

Yes, the smell fades but it is strong. Peppermint oil is also said to repel spiders as well
