There´s a 30% chance you have rats or mice where you live or in buildings you own. Maybe, as an animal lover, you´re okay with that. Or maybe you see wild rodents as merely a minor inconvenience. Kari Warberg Block—creator of Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch and an animal lover herself—suggests you consider natural rodent control.

4 big reasons to control rodents in your buildings and enclosed areas

• Disease. Mice and rats are known to carry 35 diseases, including Hantavirus and Lyme disease. Humans can catch diseases from rodents through urine, droppings, or saliva (in the case of a rodent bite), and some of the diseases can be fatal.

• Damage. Rodents damage your property by shredding any and all building materials. Mice and rats have continually growing incisor teeth that need to be used constantly, or they grow too big to use and the animal starves to death.

• Fire. Mice and rats cause 8% of all U.S. building fires by gnawing wiring and causing electrical shorts. What´s worse, your insurance policy may not cover rodent-caused fires.

• Romance. One loving mouse couple can create 15,000 baby mice in just one year. Sooner is better than later when it comes to finding ways to control rodents in your buildings.

"Think like a rodent" to control rats and mice with a natural rodent repellent

Warberg Block needed a way to control rodents and keep them out of her farm home and implement cabs. She was leery of traps and poisons because she had pets and young children, so she experimented with other methods and substances. Eventually, she discovered that rodents absolutely hate the smell of balsam fir—so she made that Fresh Cab´s main scent.

Fresh Cab is the only rodent repellent that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has certified as being effective and safe indoors and in enclosed areas. It´s a humane, environmentally friendly, natural rodent repellent. To get rodents to leave the premises (or never come in), Fresh Cab uses natural essential oils that humans enjoy and rodents loathe.

"Rats and mice are among the smartest, most resilient mammals on the planet," Warberg Block says. "To get rid of rodents, you have to think like a rodent." Because they can see only a few inches, mice and rats determine their own safety based on scent—and Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch makes them very uncomfortable. Here are 3 ways to outsmart them without using dangerous traps or poisons that often don´t work very well.

1. Block the way in. Rodents can squeeze though a quarter-inch hole. That´s about the size of a pencil eraser. Keep them from ever entering a building, storage unit, or shed by filling all outside cracks and openings. Also fill and seal around every type of vent hole in soffits and on the roof. Place Fresh Cab near these spots, and also in dryer vents, drop ceilings, subfloors, and crawl spaces—anywhere that mice and rats could get in.

2. Block inside scent trails. Mice and rats follow scent trails to food, shelter, and water. A scent trail will show up as a set of smears or tracks along walls, in corners, and behind large appliances. Just put a Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch on the scent trail to frighten and frustrate rodents and make them want to find easier, safer hunting grounds.

3. Make ´em want to leave. Place Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch anywhere rodents might enjoy themselves: in the attic, basement, and garage, as well as under the sink and in the pantry. Fresh Cab is a non-toxic, natural rodent repellent, so you don't need to worry about it near food, and you´ll enjoy its clean, outdoorsy, botanical scent.

Whether the rodents are making themselves at home in your home or in your storage unit, farm implement cabs, hunting cabin, garage, tool shed, pump house, or attic, Fresh Cab Mouse Pouch provides humane, natural rodent control that works safely.
