Eco Defense Mice Repellent - Natural Peppermint Oil Formula to Repel Mice, Rats, and Other Rodents - Humane Mouse Trap Alternative (16 oz)

Ok, let's face it. The old saying about the better mouse trap is a saying because NO ONE has found an end all method to be free of mice. That said, this is my second time buying this product because I DO BELIEVE it's working. Traps work for a time but they seem to come back after a few months. Peppermint oil works but only as long as you keep the place so covered with the stuff that your eyes burn and then when it wears off, the cure is over. That's the case with this product I'm sure, as well. It repels because they don't like the smell but IT also will wear off and need new applications. Only this stuff won't open your sinuses(even though peppermint oil is part of the formula) so it's much better and it comes with a very handy, far shooting spray so you can easily cover the spaces they might enter like under the garage door or along the patio door frame. It is not an unpleasant smell at all. Cold weather is upon us... perfect time to test since that's when we get an influx of mice in our old, 6 unit apartment building. So far we think this has been helpful. Let's see how it works when the next generation of vermin gets too cold to be field mice and try to come to be house mice! To be continued4/2018 On my third bottle. We manage 20 apartments. They're old buildings and they're near some grassy fields so mice are always an issue. This repellent works! We love it.

I was fed up with my apartment pest control tactics because every few months I would see a mouse and lose it. This spray came up when looking for ways to keep them from coming in. I made sure I cleaned my place from top to bottom and made sure there weren’t any holes in my closets as that was a huge problem when I first started having issues. I sprayed all the corners, closets, and the base boards in my kitchen. I also sprayed my dish rack because I saw droppings. The second night after spraying a mouse was on top of my chair which reminded me of a review about the spray in which the person took a picture of the mouse in the spray stream but its been a month and I spray the same areas every tuesday. I haven’t seen any dropping in the dish rack. Also before the spray the mice were pretty fearless just running across the floor while the house was active. Haven’t seen any of that. I did leave one closset not sprayed and laced with traps because the spray is obviously not going kill the ones already in. All in all it smells nice and seems to be working.

I bought this months before ever trying it, just to be prepared. It wasn't until my Amazon return window was past that I ended up hearing a mouse in our wall and decided to start using this...and researching. I really wish I'd saved my $25 by doing research FIRST. Ask ANY pesk control expert (professional, or person who has actually dealt with rodent infestation) and the answer is the same: these sprays (and any essential-oil based home remedy like them) are completely worthless. Instead of reading the product reviews here, just Google it and you'll get your real answer. OR waste $25 and try this stuff and watch as the mice literally crawl around on top of surfaces you just saturated with it. I went outside and absolutely soaked the cracks around our cement porch where I'd seen the mice coming and going, as well as all over the screen in our basement window well, which a mouse has been using as a ladder to crawl into the window well. Within a half an hour I saw the mouse crawling around sniffing at the window screen and completely ignoring the dripping repellent as it happily nibbled at some grass blades. This let me confirm with my own eyes what the pros had written: even if slightly bothered by the scent in these repellents, mice are well adapted to survive. If they have found a warm, secure place to live they are NOT about to give that up. And as far as I could see they didn't even mind the smell.Also, if you think this company will stand behind its product, guess again. I visited their website and it looks almost fake: no contact information, nothing more than some product descriptions. The side of the bottle boasts a "100% Satisfaction Guarantee". What is that good for? It just goes to prove that anyone can write anything on the side of a package and it doesn't have to mean anything.

It did seem like at first it may have deterred mice that where getting into a cabinet that had dog treats in it. Sprayed it and didn't see mice for a bit. Then they came back. They had to basically walk through the spray that was at the hole they where getting into.. sooo.. yeah. Stopped working. I guess they get used to it and the want for food is stronger than this spray.
