I'm not sure if this actually works. At first I thought out worked great but then I started cathing more mice on the sticky traps

Do not know about rats,or skunks,because i do not have a problem with them,but Squirrels. I still have them! Did not work for those pesky little rodents. I purchased two of them figuring it would be a double wammy ,but they are still running around the attic.

Am not certain of the critter involved, but we purchased two of these because we heard scratching inside the walls of our home about three in the morning. I hit on the wall with my fists, then with my shoes, and the scratching continued. We installed two of these on opposite ends of our 2,000 sq. ft. ranch and the scratching ceased. The scratching was loud enough so that we could hear discrete scratches across an 18 foot room. Also, had a problem with ground squirrels in our crawl space. Installed one down there about six months ago and gave them two weeks to get out, then sealed it. Have not seen them since the installation of the device.

I originally purchased this product as a solution to a rat infestation. I live in the country, surrounded by grain fields and every fall I get a migration of rats. This product completely, and efficiently repelled any unwanted boarders. I've found it repels squirrels as well but have not had it long enough to honestly know if it works on skunks too. It does warn not to use it around cats and dogs so I assume it aggravates larger animals as well. I purchased two, one for each floor of the house and have been vermin free since.

Squirrels are rats with fluffy tails and as such they can chew thru this mesh easily.. NOT saying that they will because they can get all tangled up in the mesh. IT is my firm belief that it will help deter them but will not completely stop a dedicated fruit hungry squirrel. YES i would use it to make it harder for them to get to the fruit

I've used it for several years and it has worked beautifully on mice and squirrels (judging from critters the people around me have fought), but I don't know about rats.

In my experience it didn't repel anything. I believe it mentions doesn't repel birds.

It worked on my chicken and deer problem. I would expect it to work on skunks. If you have a specific area to defend it should be effective.

Not that I know of. I have not seen any rodents for one year of putting it in my outside storage unit.

It's supposed annoy all rodents with sensitive hearing, from guinea-pigs to squirrels. It works like a dog whistle. However, It didn't work for me or my mice problem in the garage. I resorted to cats and enclosed sticky traps.

Cathy, I just don't know. I think it is possible that it would hurt them. I have it set up in my basement and have never had a problem with squirrels there. Good luck. You might be able to create a "door" on the front of the Zapper, that would prevent larger animals from entering, but allow mice to get in.

Yes any rodents and small animals, very powerful just kinda flimsy so take good care of.it

The PestChasers® will repel rodents such as mice and rats. They would not be recommended to repel squirrels.

It is supposed to, but I put them in in the fall to repel mice. It is still cold where I live so I can't answer your question.

Yes, Pest Pro Mouse Glue Boards will work for Rats as well, but I can't tell about the big rats; we caught not bigger than three inches long ones.

Gutter Brushes would work as a deterrent, but I don't believe they would be sufficient to stop a determined rodent.

It is safe around my dogs. I do not recommend it, it did nothing to repel rats in my outdoor shed. They went right by it to the food in the traps

I haven't noticed that deer repellent sprays keep away chipmunks. When we had a problem with chipmunks digging up a large area of our garden and uprooting/eating plants, a small animal granular repellent did work. It was either Critter Ridder or Repels-All; sorry I can't remember which one. The liquid version did nothing, but the granular form worked, perhaps because I placed some of it into each entrance hole. Good luck!

This product was absolutely ineffective when I tried to use it to repel squirrels from a garden. I think it does nothing.

I can tell you that it kept squirrels, rabbits, and any other such animals out of my vegetable garden. I had sprayed around the "borders" of my garden, and then misted the leaves of the various vegetable plants with it. My veggies were undisturbed, while those of my neighbors were ravaged. I would "guess" that it would have a similar effect on gophers. We had chipmunks in the neighborhood, but they didn't bother my garden.
