Grandpa Gus's Mouse Repellent Pouches Natural Peppermint Oil Mice Rodent Trap Alternative, 10 Pk

This is surely the worst purchase I made in my life. This product is useless as rats march royally over the pouches. Sheer waste of money.

Not upto the mark

Not good product,rats remain away for one to two days only and then they come as usual.It is only waste of money.One should not buy this bad product. Rats are cutting this packet and spilling the granules of this packet all over the engine compartment of car not working at all

No use

This product is such a nice alternative to toxic products used to discourage or end the life of unwanted mice. I bought two packages - one for an antique care that is in a storage facility and another for my sons garage, where a two year old lives in the home. The fragrance is pleasant and so far, the repellant effect has been excellent! I plan to purchase more for a barn where cats reside and a nontoxic product is needed! I am thrilled to have this option to unacceptable traps and poisons.

I live in the woods of Maine, and had an issue with mice getting into 2 of my vehicles that I use infrequently. Absolutely disgusting to open up the door and see mouse poop. Unfortunately, I dont have a covered garage and I live in the middle of a forest with lots of mice. I was super skeptical that these would work. To my complete surprise they immediately worked. I have used them for 6 months without a single instance of mice getting into the cats. I put 2 packs in each car, one beneath each of the front seats. The smell is pleasant for me, but apparently not so much for mice. They are worth the price to keep mice out and they really do work.

The product has a pleasant smell AND we haven’t seen any mice!

Update: 11 24 2024: So, the "Motel Mouse" humane traps DO WORK (on Amazon). I set them up with a gob of peanut butter on 11 22 2024 as soon as they arrived and within an hour, I had one mouse in a trap and went back to look at another trap about 30 minutes later, and another mouse was in the second trap. Nothing in the laundry pantry or kitchen. I put the occupied traps outside until the morning. As soon as I opened the trap the little mice bolted to the point where they were airborne! As of today, 11 24 2024, no more mice in the traps, no more droppings; the HVAC vents are covered with those nice magnetic mesh covers (from Amazon) and the air flow is fine; so, I think I am good to go! So don't waste your $$ on the repellents and get the humane traps although the little bowls of peppermint oil and the lavender epsom salt does make your house smell nice! So, yes, I discovered I have mice in my master bathroom and at least one managed to make it into the kitchen in full view of my dogs, believe it or not. I live semi-rural, and I know they're outside so it should have been expected that they'd find their way indoors at some point. So, I began with ordering mesh magnetic covers for my HVAC vents on the floor since I thought they might be coming in through there from the crawlspace; then I subsequently began with little bowls of peppermint oil spread around; nope, tried the ultrasonic electronic pest repeller that you plug in, 6 of them, 3 in the bathroom and just outside in the master bedroom and the other 3 outside in the shed.. Nope. Tried Epsom salts with lavender since they are supposed to not like the smell of lavender (my house smells great, tho) but nope, bought these Grandpa Gus' mouse repellent pouches and set them all around including on top of the vanity and apparently the mice love them because I found a couple of droppings right on top of the pouches. I did find one baby mouse in a glass flower vase I had setting on the kitchen floor and when I walked by it, I thought there was a walnut in the bottom and came to find out it was a baby mouse all curled up. Apparently, it got in but could not get out. It was very still so I thought it was dead, but I took it outside and pushed it out and it was weak, but it did revive and scurry off after a few minutes of fresh air and grass. I thought that was it until I found a few more droppings on the Grandpa's pouch on my vanity, again. Next, my humane mouse traps arrived this evening and yes, post haste, I set them up with some peanut butter and put them around, 4 of them. We will see what that does. I am just wondering since I covered my HVAC vents with the magnetic mesh covers that they could not get back out assuming that was the way they came in, but I don't really know where the heck they're coming in at. I've lived in this house for 4 years and while I see the mice outside, I have never seen one inside the house until now.

I heard that these typically work pretty well, but they are not working for me. I put three of them under the hood of my car in various, safe spots, and it is not keeping the rodents out. I live in a rural area so field rodents can be an issue, especially if nearby neighbors are not being proactive with keeping them out of sheds and barns. After cleaning under the hood I used 3 pouches. Checked a few days later and it was evident the rodents came back.
