When used as a mouse deterrent, are you supposed to just use a few drops on each cotton ball, or should each cotton ball be immersed in the oil?

A couple drops should be enough to soak a cotton ball. I haven't used it to keep mice away.

I snip the top off the packet and throw the packet inside the crawl space of my home. Mice/rats are quite good at eating through plastic so snipping the top off probably isn't necessary but it increases the scent attraction to the product.

These usually are used for moths. Not sure how effective against the others, but closets, cabinets, attics, crawl spaces, hidden areas (under sinks). For rodents I use pure peppermint oil in a sprayer with bottled water, the spray where mice are present (attics, dark, hidden areas). Plus then it makes the house smell nice.

Hi Lin,I would end up using about a 1 dropper full with it sucking up about a third at a time. I used those cotton rounds/pads to rub it on my face. Hope this helps.

Let the Nuball warm up about a couple minutes, before using. Let the Nuball remove the oil from the ball for an hour for each ball, and then see if the oil is removed. Unless you've been putting ball cleaner spray on the ball coverstock to reduce the amount of oil on the ball. When the oil is removed, it would appear on the ball very clearly and in the black oil collector. Here is a link https://youtu.be/nQO9fBveGas

I bought this product because I had read on pinterest that it worked great keeping mice out of the garage, It worked great. It is an essential oil and very concentrated so would not be recommended for candy making.

I didn't use any mouse attractant. I used with bait only. I used veggies to get rid of voles and peanut butter for mice. Some times the trigger didn't seem to lock but if I shook off or tapped on a hard surface to shake off any dirt, the trigger locked fine.

no, any peanut butter will work. Place the traps along the walls where the mice travel or bear any openings line drains where they travel. I keep my traps set long after I catch the last mouse because where there are 1 or 2, there is likelt to be a whole family

The 100% peppermint oil has helped us to keep the mice away from inside our home. You do have to place cotton swabs with the oil on them in many different places in the home to keep them out, and you have to replace the cotton swabs frequently. This is not a permanent solution, but rather a temporary one until you can find a more premanent one. One additional benefit - our house smells good! Also keep in mind - it has to be pure 100% peppermint oil. Hope this helps.

I just tip it slightly until I see the oil beading on the outside of the dropper. It took a few uses but I can actually get the drops out one at a time now

No, it didn't have a dropper. I more or less saturated the cotton ball. After having mice in the basement last year and seeing the mess they made, I "suppose" I went into full warfare mode to keep that from ever happening again! &lt;grin&gt; The oil needs to be reapplied every month since the oil does dry and I need to do that very soon since it is getting cold now. It's worth the money to get the larger bottle of the oil if you're like me and detest those mice. Although they didn't really tear much up, they left droppings, urine and even blood everywhere. Disgusting. I also use a product (from Amazon) called "Magic Mouse" that is sprinkled around the outside of the house that smells like peppermint and spearmint to keep them away. (full warfare mode again!) It's very small granules and harmless to animals; it's a repellent. In my opinion, those cotton balls should be saturated! The more the better. You don't want the mess those things can make in your home. Believe me, it was horrible.

I simply pour this onto a cotton ball or cotton facial pad and place in key areas to control mice (in an outside building). I would not delute this product because I don't think you would get the desired results. It does work! I place my cotton balls under the kitchen sink, behind cabinets, even under the front porch.

Very good question; however, I purchase this for the smell to keep rodents out of an airport hangar. It works great. I also put some on cotton balls and put the cotton balls in our boat to keep rodents out.

In the water reservoir and as much as you need. If i'm using one oil,I usually use one or two drops. Multiple oils , I use 2 drops of each.

I do it all the time, in my case, up to 8 drops of eucalyptus oil mixed into one capful of water. No harm to the unit or heating area at all. Works fine.

Mineral oil is not harmful. It is a super refined food-safe finish. You can apply and re-apply whenever the rolling pin appears dry.

I have a small bottle of lubricating oil that I use for my hand gun. Use very little, works like a charm. A lot cheaper than olive oil!
