We are having a problem with mice getting inside the engines to our vehicles. Will this help with that & how would we use them?

I use them in a trailer in the mountains and they have kept it mouse free for the summer. They last for a month, but they are effective. If the problem is severe, place the packets under the hood, but I don't know if you could leave them in while driving. Otherwise, place them around the garage floor, this should keep them at a distance. Good luck!

I used it to try repel and relocate chipmunks from residency under my storage shed. Didn't do the job!! Ended up live trapping them.

I purchased this product for mice in a NYC apt. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I don't believe it would work for mice in a car engine either. Sorry!

It should, just throw one under the hood where the rain won't get to it and replace monthly.

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 don't know if they will catch mice. I'm thinking they might be able to on small mice. You can buy something very similar that are for mice that work pretty good. I've used them in my garage. And they also catch bugs. You can get them with, or without a drug in the sticky stuff for the mice.

My best guess is NO. The opening and "maze" through which the mice go is way too small for even a small size rat... It has been wonderful for getting rid of mice problems though!

Changing the oil on this and all of my small engine equipment always seems more annoying than it ought to be. I purchased a PELA oil extractor (a hand vacuum pump that sucks the oil from the dipstick port at the end of season, when the engine is warm but not hot), this has made the task cleaner/simpler and has been a worthwhile purchase.

Uh... I don't know how mice would get in - unless they can push up the door. The door is pretty rinky-dink with some gaps (mine was bent on arrival so I sent it back). But I have no mice, so I really don't have any idea.

I think you might have to install one on each level - unless the floor plan is wide open. Also, get some oil of peppermint - and dab cotton balls with the oil. Place these on the floor around the rooms - smells great and mice hate the smell! This is the double whammy in getting rid of mice!

I have several of these around my house & one pointing at my car. No more mouse droppings in my car & in the house, the bug problems have almost disappeared. We've set up a separate ET for each major area of the house & it's been working well. Usually by now we're starting to see Carpenter bees ... so far, none!

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.

This has been improved recently so the battery cover will be easier to open on all the mice we produce going forward. Sorry about the trouble.

I'm not sure if this will work on rats since I use it for small mice. I think it would be worth trying and if plugging it into an extension cord be sure to stand the device upright facing the car. This may take a week or few weeks to get rid of mice/rats and once you are rid of problem u decide to unplug the device they may return! Try using the device along with one mothball in every corner of garage. I hope this will help!

I really don't know. They are prettry spiky and tough, but mice can get in anywhere.

I haven't used them in cold weather yet, but here is a tip for you. Place fresh "Bounce" dryer sheets where the mice come in to keep them out. Mice are repelled by them. We had an issue with mice chewing the wires on our riding lawnmower. No more problems since we used the "Bounce". The mouse traps have pretty much got rid of our mouse problems in our home. They tend to work better if you put a little something in the middle for bait.

i do not believe so. I hope, if you buy this, you have better luck than we did. There were some mice making a home in our yard. Bought this and I think they actually laughed, :( . Moved it right next to the bird feeder, where the mice would also gather. They walked right in front of it. The only animals it seemed to bother were our dogs.

Just sound waves into the room. But I have not seen any spiders or mice in my house since I plugged it in. I had lots of spiders before, all kinds, in corners. I live in Michigan so they are small anyway, but the mice do try to come in from the cold. I put one in each room, and literally watched the spiders walk towards the windows in my basement in the summer. My neighbor upstairs has a really clean house, but always has mice. They don't come down here. I got three for her, but she doesn't keep them plugged in. If it went through the wires she would be covered too.

I got it to repel insects and it does not seem to work well for that. Not sure about mice, tho.
