6 Easy Ways to Control Mice and Rats in Enclosed Areas with Safe, Natural Rodent Repellent

Kari Warberg Block, inventor of Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch (www.earth-kind.com), needed an environmentally safe, natural mouse repellent for her tractor and truck cabs. She knew that rodents do tremendous damage and spread at least 35 diseases, some of them fatal.

Many farmers used moth balls, scented dryer sheets, and rat poisons as rodent repellents, but Warberg Block didn't like those methods. The rat poisons were potentially dangerous to her children and pets. They left little skeletons to clean up. And, she says, "The rodents did lots of gnawing damage as they took 36 hours to die a painful death." Mothballs and dryer sheets didn't control mice. Neither did ultrasonic rodent repellent gizmos.

Warberg Block knew that others shared her desire for an effective, natural rodent repellent backed by reputable research. She invented Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch, the first and only EPA-reviewed and registered plant-based solution for rodent control indoors and in enclosed areas. Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch, a safe, natural mouse repellent, carries no safety warnings—and it works.

Natural Rodent Repellent: a "No Vacancies" Sign for Rats and Mice

"Rodents can see only a few inches, so they depend on their sense of smell to warn them of predators or threats," Warberg Block explains. "If what they smell makes them nervous, they leave—and one smell that makes them very nervous is balsam fir. That's the main scent of Fresh Cab Mouse Pouches." Fresh Cab is proven effective as a natural mouse repellent and lasts up to 100 days when properly placed. Here are three effortless ways to use Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch for safe rodent control inside your home.

3 Easy Ways to Control Mice inside Your Home

1. Place Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch in areas where rodents might look for food and water, such as in the pantry and under the kitchen sink. Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch is safe around food if the food is stored in plastic containers.

2. Rodents are excellent climbers. They enter your home through holes around soffit vents, cables, and gable vent screens, and through turbine and box vents on roofs. Mice can fit under many garage doors, too. For safe rodent control, put a Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch in or near all these areas, as well as near dryer vents, in crawl spaces, and drop ceilings.

3. Rodents follow "scent trails" in your home to find food and water. Locate scent trails by looking for smears or tracks along walls, in corners, and behind appliances and cabinets. A Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch placed on a scent trail will control rodents by masking the trail that others use to find their way around.

It's much easier to keep rodents out than it is to get rid of them once they've made themselves at home. A single pair of mice can produce 15,000 offspring in one year. Here are three ways to make sure those mice walk right past your home or outbuildings.

3 Ways to Keep Rodents out of Buildings

1. Seal all outside holes or cracks larger than 1/4 inch—about the diameter of a pencil eraser. Fill larger holes or cracks with steel wool or wire mesh before sealing with caulk or foam insulation.

2. Install high-quality weather-stripping at the base of all doors, and keep the garage door closed. (Keeping Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch by the garage door will also help control rodents.)

3. Store firewood, bricks, mulch, etc., as far from the house as possible, and off the ground. In the winter, store just enough wood next to the house to burn each day.

To increase Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch's effectiveness as a natural rodent repellent, use it in small, enclosed areas without air exchange, such as storage units, airplanes, cottages, farm equipment, vehicles, campers, and tack rooms. Fresh Cab loses effectiveness outside and in large open areas of homes and barns as its scent evaporates.
