Just heard on the Mr Fixit Radio show. Balsam trees excrete these substances to keep mice from chewing their bark. This woman has packaged in little pouches to place as needed. Available on Amazon, Tractor Supply etc. Worth a try and non toxic to us. Earthkind is the brand name.

I read about this product, hopefully it's effective at keeping the little buggers or should I say rodents away.
Makes sense to keep a few packets around just in case.
If anyone has personal experience I too would like to hear about it?

I've been using Fresh Cab for the last few years, it's not 100% effective at keeping the mice out but it sure gives the GMC a nice woodsy aroma!

I gave up on the 'Bounce' and switched to ' Irish Spring' soap to deal with
the Mickey wanna bees !
Give an opinion if you have one...

I tried Fresh Cab. Didn't work.
Popular Mechanics:
"Preventing rodents from infiltrating the home in the first place has become big business. A number of rodent-repelling odorants are sold at hardware and home stores, including Critter Out spray, Fresh Cab Scent Pouches and Shake Away Rodent Repellant Granules that claim to smell like predators, banking on fear to keep mice away. Some people swear by strong scents, such as pine or cayenne peppers, or even dryer sheets. But experts say the effectiveness is questionable."

What bugs me about fresh cab, is on the box it says effective for 30 days. Winter storage is longer then 30 days, so i have never bought any.
Trap, trap, and trap is my method. I use victor ultrasonic plug ins too. And have never trapped a mouse with those victor plug in powered up. 5 winters now.

I might try the Victor plugin, if it works for my mouse invaded coach it will work anywhere. I always have my go to (though socially unacceptable) 5 gal bucket with the spinning wheel of death attachment!

What is socially unacceptable about ridding your personal space of disease
ridden vermin? Catch and release? Not in my coach. Dead mice do not
reproduce. Ron Clark has a very effective electronic mousetrap in his
coach. I dumped a couple out of it while I was working on his coach.

By the way, I also use one of the repellent products. If they don't get
in the coach spaces, they won't poop in the drawers and cabinets while
they're on death row, waiting to be electrocuted.

Never been a huge cat fan but a neighbor of mine somewhere close has this
black cat which I have been seeing in the back yard. Seeing him ( or her?)
a bunch. Saw the cat hauling a catch briskly across my yard a couple weeks
ago then being the incredibly smart guy I like to think of myself as I
figured it out. My yard is the cats hunting ground. "Caught" the cat under
the gmc a little over a week ago. Never loved a cat so much.

Sully,
Voila!
I don't know if you were aware that the Egyptians worshiped a god in the shape of a cat!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastet
Quote: " Cats in ancient Egypt were revered highly, partly due to their ability to combat vermin such as mice, rats (which
threatened key food supplies), and snakes-especially cobras."

A local vet has a reader board on his lawn with specials and witty
comments on it. A while back, it read: "Two thousand years ago, cats
were worshipped. THEY HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN!"

Ron,
I have a plaque that reads:
Dogs have owners, cats have staff!
I have a hand painted picture of Bast on papyrus I bought when I was in Cairo. MANY years ago.

I definitely encourage Jeff the cat to dispose of as many of the furry little treats he can.
He's quite good at it, good enough we have to do a mouth check before letting him in lest he brings a new play toy/snack into the house.
And yes, we are definitely staff
