I don't recommend this at all! It smells really bad and attracts cats like crazy!

Don't know about Shake Away. CONTINUE to put those simple mice traps inside where ever you see activity. BG

Hi Monika, I use this project mainly to deter squirrels from nosing around my bulbs and digging all over the place. I've never used it for mice but I can't help but think that it might work for mice and rats as well because of the ingredients. It seems to work a little for racoons and skunks so if it was me, I would try it and see how it goes. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Take care and all the best to you for the new year.

I am not sure this is the product for you. First, are you sure they are mice? They may be voles. Voles leave paths in the grass that look like tunnels just below the grass line. In either case, I have found the best product to be plain old De-Con pellets dropped into the pathways where they run and into their holes. Act fast however as this product is being withdrawn from the market because parents do not take proper precautions and children get to it and eat it.

I don't know that. I usually use it in the house and seems to help keep the mice out. I don't set my garbage outdoors cuz I live in the country and it probably would be spilled all over from other critters.

Used it to deter mice in the attic...both chipmunks and mice are rodents...could work. May have to reapply it fairly often if used outside...q 2-3 days, maybe. Not harmful just a deterrent..I like that aspect.

will probably keep out rodents but not something as small as a spider or bug

I used this product in all areas of my home where I thought a rodent would have access with no damage to floors or carpet. It seems to me this product would not harm wires.

I have two problem areas, the kitchen and the upstairs bathroom over the garage. The Pest A Cator Plus 2000 has a pretty big range, but I still needed one in each area. For an RV I think one will do it depending on the size. I'd plug it in closest to the most problem area. You may still hear the mice for a day, but then they're gone. Since I have the two units, there's been no evidence of mice.

I think you could safely use it for that. No openings for mice to get in. I've had mine on an exposed deck all winter (near Buffalo NY). Not even a drop of water inside.

I captured the results on video tape. I had mine in a 10' X 10" laundry room 3' from point of entry and it became an eventual deterrent to mice. After they had reentered once or twice they decided not to come back. A rat we had required other measures.

This stuff is a sprinkle application that you would need to apply to the areas you want mice NOT to go. I used under my house along the edges and reapplied often and it did seem to help. I think it would work the same way if you put it in your car. This item has a VERY strong mint odor.

I have not had any issues with mice getting in there, but there isn't anything about the product that would keep a determined mouse out.

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.

I live in a rural area and had been plagued with mice every winter. After researching 100% peppermint oil I made a purchase from Amazon last fall. I sprayed cotton balls and placed them in closets, corners, behind washer/dryer, etc. I did not see a mouse all winter nor were any trapped. I either respray or change the cotton balls every 30 days. 100% satisfaction.

Yes, it keeps mice and rats completely away from your home (including inside the walls). Remember, you have to give it a couple weeks to work completely. When you plug it in, make sure it's on the correct setting and then leave it alone.

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.
