Victor M809 Mouse and Rat Repellent Natural Peppermint Non-Toxic Spray for Indoor and Outdoor Use Ready to Use – 32 fl oz | Up to 67 Linear Feet Coverage, Natural Essential Oil Formula for Indoor & Outdoor Rodent Control, Ready to Use Pest Repellent

If you have rat problems under your car hood like I had, Victor Peppermint spray (w/cinnamon/citronella/vinegar) works: 32 oz is $15 and it's been fending off the rats for a month now, with light weekly touchups. Ask your mechanic where to spray it and where not, and spray the front wheel wells too (but not your wheels so they don't get slippery)-- rats jump from your front wheels and go right under the hood. At the same time as the Victor spray, I got and am also using a Loraffe Rodent Repellent Ultrasonic Under Hood Rat Repeller (Battery Powered). It's been a month and not a sign of rats; it sucks having assigned apt complex parking when you're stuck next to the dumpster! A month ago I also had my mechanic wrap my new wiring harnesses (rats had chewed through both so he had to replace them for $1,600) with 3M Scotch Electrical Shielding Tape 15 ft Tinned Copper, Open-weave, Shielding Braid Tape and then cover that copper tape with what Honda literally calls its Rat Tape (it has 5-alarm-chili powder in it that rats hate). Honda wanted $89 to ship one roll of its rat tape; it was $50 here on Amazon. For the past month, the rat tape and copper wire tape have been successfully protecting my car against further rat chewing! Now I can see why people have class action lawsuits going against several automotive manufacturers right now for making wiring and other car components out of edible food stuffs like soy so it's "ecologically friendly" (in cars 2000 and newer). This just lures rodents into chowing down on your car, and is a big disaster that needs to end ASAP.

I really didn't have much faith in this but we were looking for a way to keep one or two pack rats from nesting in a semi-enclosed outdoor area. We really do not like lethal methods so try to use benign harassment whenever possible. Sprayed liberally around the edges and entrance to the area. No sign of them for several days but droppings did reappear. Sprayed again. Had to reapply about once a week a few more times. They do appear to be gone now. I have re-ordered and keep a bottle in the garage. I have no problem spraying as necessary to keep them away and to avoid dealing with traps, etc. There is definitely an odor but it is not unpleasant and did not stain concrete or stucco in the areas sprayed. Also, I have no worries about the dog or the wild birds being harmed by it. I know the reviews are mixed but my experience suggests it's worth a try -- it's a pretty low cost low risk solution with a good value if it works for you.

Love the pepperment smell.

I really wanted to like this, but not matter how much I sprayed, it never took effect; however, I do live in a big city, in a large apartment building, and it may work best in a single home. Easy to use: It simply is a spray, no harsh chemicals. Just point and shoot. The nozel does change the spread of the spray depending on how tight it is. Value for money: If it did actually work i would say it is well worth the money. Since it didn't do anything in my apartment i would say that, at least for me, it was a waste of money. Scent: Probably the best thing about this is the scent. Like a mix between Peppermint and several herbs. I enjoyed it but if you have a weakness to scents this might not be best for you.

This spray does not seem to repel rodents. I used some other products along with the spray but didn’t seem to do anything.
