'BOUNCE' Dryer sheets, actually do help to repel them vermin also
helps some with the smell too...
Hydrogen peroxide,
also helped to clean where I thought
the smell was coming from
won't hurt the carpet or upholstery either,
a lady told me to try it, seemed to help some
a good shop vac to suck it up too...
DECON bait then lil' like 1" green squares/mouse bait, works
(
my pest control, Angles Pest Control guy gave me some, it helped)
we had them under the house too, put a lil' square on each pipe
& the A/C ducts where they run on/travel back & forth,
they were all gone (the squares) in 2 days, with in a week there
was no sign of the mice under the house or my garage...
I baited it twice, for good measures, last time I was under there
there were still some squares under there, been a while...
I didn't do the
BOUNCE Dryer sheets for a while, at one time
& I didn't think there was any issues,
got a bit lazy
with the vermin, you have to be ahead of them
(I do have 40 open acres right behind me, lots of critters)
a couple years ago we had a lil' issue with them vermin here
extreme winters/wet & deep *** snow, they wanted to get warm
my garage was the easiest place, my RR too
(mice)
normally hadn't had any problems prior,
I caught it early
saw a paper towel I had in the trunk, in a funnel got shredded
a nest made, lil pile in the trunk, it was left open too
I got proactive
no food or drink left outside on the decks or garage etc.
no feeders/bird feeders, no seeds (I like sunflower seeds), no garbage
no scraps left overnight (food in the garage left ever) etc.
seal all the holes where they can get in, expanding foam
or wood trim if need be, new garage door seals & weather seals for the side door
you'd be surprised
how small a lil' hole, a rat/mice/vermin can climb through
I have a bud that was having serious problems on his ranch
them getting into his equipment, his feed & his trucks,
chewing wires & interiors etc.
He used mostly just old fashion mouse traps, he said he'd dump like 10 a day...
He tried the mouse electronic sonic repeller's, said "it didn't do ****"
he put like 4 of them big 12" x 12" 4 port
Mouse Blocker boxes in his barn,
it didn't help at all, seemingly...
He did the
BOUNCE dryer sheets in specific areas (inside the equipment),
he said it helped
but still didn't stop them all, it is a farm/a big barn after all...
I told him about the
Decon 'them green squares',
my pest guys told me about
I tried & they work
supposed;
it doesn't kill the second animal that eats the vermin
that feeds on the
DECON, "supposed to be safe"
around cats & dogs or other livestock
secondary exposure
don't want them eating it though...
(
lots of stuff for them vermin to eat or chew on or make nest of,
he tried them too, it also helped, but no cure, it's a big barn)
DECON green cubes they/
mice or other vermin eat it,
it dehydrates them & when they drink liguid or water, it kills them,
they bloat & sort of blow up
put/use the lil' black triangle boxes, that they sell for baiting them
that holds it & make sure weight them down so they don't get hauled off
we have 4 cats in close proximity now,
I'm friendly with them all, mostly any mice problem eliminated sort of too
I still do the
BOUNCE dryer sheet, as a precaution
one in the trunk, one under each front seats, 1 under the back seat &
if the car sits for any time (like winter)
I put a couple in the engine bay too, like by the bulkhead connections
intertwined, under the dash, it always works here,
if I remember to do it...
When we had an infestation in the really bad winters
I tried the electronic sonic deal,
Mouse-Blocker (IIRC)
I saw on, one of the Saturday morning M/T TV Car TV shows advertised
it didn't last long, just died a couple months later...
I had one going out to my carport in back for the boat
& the
mice ate the electric cord "to powering the
mouse blocker",
that's not much of a repellant...
Tried another cheaper one, lil' plug in deals, '
ByCritter' was the brand IIRC,
that didn't last long either...
They did work, when they were working, but just not for long,
in my place anyway...
The few of my neighbors 3-4 cats, 'lil' killing machines'
seem to have killed off most the vermin in close proximity now
& unfortunately all the lil' critters, birds, squirrels, baby turkeys, baby quail,
gophers in my neighbor's lawn too
they every so often, will leave one as a gift/offering, on my back deck...
Good luck
