Fast-Acting Rat & Mouse Repellent Pouches

I cleaned out my pantry this spring and had to toss almost everything. Nibbled pasta packs, spilled flour on the floor, and there were droppings in two cereal boxes. That was the first time it really got to me. I put three pouches in there — one deep in the shelf and two in the corners. Nothing has been chewed since, and it’s been almost two months now. I still check once a month, but so far nothing.

I used snap traps for years, just like my dad did. They work, but you have to check every morning and dispose of them. I never wanted to use poison — we have a dog that goes everywhere. With these pouches you just set them and forget it. I’ve had six in the basement and garage since January. No more droppings, no dead mice, nothing to clean up. Wish I’d done this sooner.

I was skeptical because I thought if it’s strong enough to drive mice away, the whole apartment would smell like peppermint. But it’s not. You only smell it if you stand right next to it, otherwise barely noticeable. My daughter didn’t notice anything when she visited. What I also love: you set them once and get at least a month of peace, no checking every day. It’s a small thing, but it makes a huge difference.
