Where can I buy a chemical that repels rats and mice?
Question:I tried an electronic one that you plug in and it emits an ultrasonic pulse, but it was not effective
Answers:
Yea I saw that on MSN I think. Some scent that repells rats
Dont use chemicals why would you even think about killing them!? Just buy a cat and let the cat take care of the mice
Doesn't sound to me that you want to kill them! Good call. I don't know of anything other than the sonic ones that repel them and I have heard that some work and some don't. Maybe try a different make? I know this could get expensive but can't think of anything else. Perhaps you could ask for recomendations for ones that do work.
All the best.
get one of those sonic dodads they brill... and you can get what you want at b&q or any pet shop
Don't know of anything that repels but you can use glue boards. They are real sticky and mice get stuck on them. Then you still have to discard the critter. You can find them at hardware stores but be sure not to touch sticky surface. You will find that they will be hard to remove as my 2 yr. old niece did, in her curly hair. Place them out of reach of kids. I have been told that mice will not go anywhere near where the sense a cat has been. Find someone with a cat and get their used kitty litter and spread it around house. The scent may keep the mice away. It's a thought!!
the sonic ones are really the only ones that are trully effective and not going to kill them.the big catch ...and i am really suprised no one has pointed this out...they are only good for something like 9 feet from the actual emitter..thus you have to put them every 9 feet in your house to trully get rid of them, otherwise you just get rid of them in that part of the room that the emitter is...and this makes it very expensive if you have a big house
The twin speaker ones are much more effective than the singles that plug straight into the socket. There is a liquid called Renardine,but it is not suitable for use inside as it has a very strong smell!!
most diy stores sell them.b q, or sainsburys home base, wicks stores.
Cheap, safe and yet very effective is Moth Balls -
We had a camper with terrible rodent problems, they would
even come up through the floor, someone told me about moth balls and we haven't had a problem since. I just laid them all outside lining around the camper - I also like them better than pesticides, etc because we have a small children and a dog. Good luck!
go to home depotand buy these little square blocks i don't know what there called but there green squareand very cheap but they really work
Foster a cat until your mouse problem goes away. :-)
Poison works best because they go outside to die and stops them from reproducing. Don't use those sonic things because they are expensive and hard to tell if they are working. Your best bet is to remove them effectively before they reproduce. Use poison, they go outside to die and prevents infestation which is messy, cruel, and requires the exterminators.
Any good hardware store but personally i found the electronic one ideal, is yours working properly ?you know that it is only the rats and mice that are suppose to hear it.
