Mouse Deterrent

Generally, where there is one mouse, there are more.  Using an effective mouse deterrent can prevent a lot of aggravation and possible harm.  Mice can carry germs, bacteria, and disease.  They can, also, cause property damage.  They leave “droppings” everywhere, which is an unsanitary mess.  They can get into food products causing waste and more messes. 

There are many options for dealing with mice.  If the mice have not yet infested the house, a good mouse deterrent will keep them out.  This will prevent the necessity of traps or poisons.  Since mice reproduce quickly and are a prevalent problem across the country, there are many mouse deterrents available to use.  Some of the best deterrents are:

1. Fresh Cab:  This all natural biodegradable mouse deterrent comes in a pouch and has a “woodsy” scent.  Balsam fir needle essential oil is the active ingredient.  It is easy to use and one pouch can last up to 100 days in a 125 square foot area.  With this deterrent, there is no mess, no poison, no trap, and no corpse to handle.  This non toxic deterrent keeps mice away instead of killing them.  Fresh Cab is registered with the EPA, Environmental Protection Agency, as a “Green” product.  This deterrent is can be found online at Earthkindstore for $37.50.

2. Shake Away Rodent Repellent:  This mouse deterrent is 100% organic and non-toxic.  It is advertised as the strongest natural repellent on the market.  The granular deterrent is derived from urine of the bobcat and the fox, both natural predators of mice.  It is easy to use, just sprinkle around the area of concern.  This all natural product will not harm the mice, other animals, children, or pets.  Shake Away Rodent Repellent can be found online at Critter-repellent for $28.95 (3lb size).
