TomcatRepellents Rodent Repellent Ready-to-Use, For Indoor and Outdoor Mouse and Rat Prevention with Peppermint, Cinnamon and Garlic Essential Oils, 1 gal.

Use your brain when using products. Rodents hate the smell of peppermint oil and cinnamon oil. Which this product uses, albeit less concentrations that I'd like but the price makes up for that and you can always add more on your own. It doesn't take much, really. The sprayer is battery operated which is useful I suppose. You don't need to use a lot of this. Just wet the area evenly, only 3 inches wide really. If it rains you'll have to reapply, obviously.This is a BARRIER product. It PUSHES rodents. It doesn't repel like an electric fence. If you already have an infestation this product will likely PUSH them inside more. You need to use this BEFORE you have an infestation. I use it in the fall right when the night temperatures get 40 or below. I spray the house brick where they likely come in under the siding. This worked so well that even squirrels that would bury nuts around my house stopped going there.I also spray my garage perimeter but I start inside around the cars for a week or two, since rodents are inevitably already inside. I then PUSH them out from there, after the car perimeter I put it on the INSIDE perimeter of garage walls. Then after a week I do the OUTSIDE perimeter. This works perfectly every single year. Once it stays cold they don't go inside because they already made their home for the winter elsewhere. But I do spray every other month or so to keep them out since for some people/mice they will be attracted back in the garage once the warm cars park in there. If you park outside where mice are a worry, spray under the engine bay ground and a perimeter around the car, preferably under slightly to protect from weather washing it away faster. They're attracted to the heat so they come in the engine compartment area the most.It's simple. Peppermint oil alone works but cinnamon helps. If you have rodents used to this or larger ones like rats you'll need to increase the oils. Buy some and add it to this, even cooking extracts work. You want toothpaste in your eyes or nose? That's what this does to rodents. But it PUSHES them. So if they're inside already you need to use it inside to PUSH them out (not advised since it smells ok but it'll bother your own eyes inside).This works best if you use it BEFORE but I promise once I had mice come in my house for two years straight it stopped after I used peppermint oil and cinnamon oil products. This is a weaker and cheaper product but it does work in principle. If it isn't PUSHING for you, get a product with higher concentrations or add more oil to this yourself. And remember, if they're already inside something you have to PUSH them from the inside first. You do it from the outside you're just going to keep them inside and they'll eventually get used to it anyway.

I had a sneaky suspicion some little critters were trying to make a home in my garage, and these pouches were the perfect, easy solution. I just tossed a few in the corners, and haven't seen any signs since. What I really appreciate is that they use essential oils, so I don't have to worry about harsh chemicals around my pets. Plus, they have a pleasant, mild scent that's not overpowering at all. If you're looking for a humane and effective way to deter rodents, look no further! These pouches are a five-star win in my book.

This product does what it says. I like the fact that it doesn't stink. However, you do have to use it often so I'd recommend buying the big bottle.

I looked at various different gallon jugs of mint, based rodent repellent for a few years, always opting for different choices so when I finally bit the bullet and bought one of these big jugs it was kind of a big deal, making it all the more horrible that I can’t do anything with it because the sprayer provided doesn’t work at all. The directions are basically nonexistent had to look online. There’s like 3 different steps, twisting a knob where the sprayer connects to the jug twisting the very end of the sprayer from off to spray and moving a tab, which otherwise locks the trigger for the sprayer. From the first use, I got minimal spray that when walking around my home and spraying down around the perimeter of it and my chicken and duck coop it provided minimal coverage there’s absolutely no way I can get up to the vents/roof areas of this old mobile home. The whole point of this was having something I could grab and use not just on a regular schedule, but at any given moment. I can just grab it and go but thanks to this useless sprayer that can’t happen. I’m right back in the same routine of now having to put together some kind of better spray bottle myself Every single time I go to use this which for most people probably isn’t a big deal, but my life is being consumed by menial tasks like this. this purchase was supposed to cut that out, not create more. The smell also is not very strong. Most mint-based products have a strong scent. the whole point of that is it lasts longer, and helps repel the rodents longer.

Has a weird smell. Its like 6 pouches with a weird smell. Its strong make sure to use gloves. It seems to be working so far.

I bought this Tomcat rodent repellent expecting a mild deterrent. What I got was a full-on eviction notice written in mouse-Greek fire.As soon as I sprayed it around the baseboards, the Rodents held an emergency town hall meeting, packed their little hobo bindles, and marched out single file like they were escaping a cult. I swear I heard one mutter, “It’s not worth the cheese, Greg.”The scent is “fresh,” if you’re an herb-loving human. To them, it’s probably the smell of disappointment and shattered dreams. One mouse actually flipped me off on his way out, and I respect that level of pettiness.If you’re looking for a way to humanely ruin a rodent’s week—this is it. 10/10 would traumatize mice again.

I purchased this product in Nov 2024. Use it every week on so in the kitchen on the baseboards where mice use to dancing and dodge in and out constantly, now nothing. It's April 2025 and I have not seen any activity, thank God. Still can't believe it. I will continue to use this product. I've recommended it to others. I'm a very happy customer!

Works better as a rodent repellent than anything else I have found. Not sure how the cats feel about it, but it does not keep them away.
