Victor Mini M753SN Ultrasonic with Nightlight, 3-Pack,White

Ok so we bought a house that had a serious mouse issue. I caught upwards of 20-30 in the first two weeks. I then proceeded to declare WW3 on them and bought just about every mouse killing or repelling product you can imagine. Here is what I have concluded... Snap traps with a little bit of peanut butter - works great, but you must reapply the bait from time to time. Glue traps - work if you place them in the traffic area of the mouse. Irish spring soap - (read it online) I don't think this works as well of a repellent as what people wish it did. I put an open bar in the room where i catch a lot of mice, and still caught 2-3 in there. Ultrasonic repellent - I have noticed a decline in mice since i installed these, however I have also killed a bunch of the little bastards with snap traps and glue traps. I cannot say if this is the reason we have less or if i have just removed a bunch from the population. The night light is a cool feature and I like having it on in our hallway and basement areas. I would like to put one or two more in the garage (where I have trapped the most recent ones). Overall if you are going the extra mile and want to try something to get rid of mice, i say go for it. I don't think there is any definitive proof I could provide you other than saying that in my opinion they seem to work.

Living in the backcountry up at 8,000' in the Rocky Mountains I was overrun with field mice inside my house and could trap as many as 5 mice every night. My cat finally gave up and by chance I came across these Victor Ultrasonic Rodent Repellers. Every year I'd leave the mountains for about 3 months to my other house in California which left the mice alone in my heated house and attached garage when the outside temperatures would drop down to as low as minus 25°F and with snow levels of 6' to 8' deep. Last September 2017 I plugged in 3 Victor Mini M753SN Ultrasonic Rodent Repellers. When I returned in February 2018 I couldn't understand why my 40' x 60' 3 bedroom house and attached 2 car garage were 100% mice free with no mouse droppings. I set 8 traps and still not one mouse inside my house or garage! I'm getting ready to leave again for another 3 plus months. I highly recommend the Victor Ultrasonic Rodent Repellers!

I've lived in the country for 25 years, and mice are a fact of life out here. I've tried everything, and have become a bit of an amateur expert. It's really hard to completely eliminate them. I've tried a few brands of these ultrasonic units and my experience has been that typically they don't work well except for one application: keeping mice out of your cars and engines. About 10 years ago, after mice had nested in my lawn tractor and chewed the spark plug wire TWICE over 2 winters, I first tried a different brand, right next to the engine and wires. Many years later I've never had a problem on that tractor again. Then recently the same thing happened to my snowblower. So I bought a bunch of this brand at a big box store a few weeks ago and placed them right on top of every single engine I have, near the plug wires. You want the waves bouncing all around the reflective metal surfaces as much as possible, and depending on the engine situation I'll set it right on the cooling fins next to the plug, or at an opening in the flywheel cover (every time that's where they've nested). I'm now buying a larger one to put in the cockpit area of my boat over the winter. So for this specific application I'd give it 5 stars. But I dont' think it's a good idea for inside your house. I tried a few many years ago, but the ultrasonic waves don't penetrate sheet rock and the high frequencies are readily absorbed by any non-reflective surface. I also tried them in my basement, lots of stone reflectivity. But I think all that does is encourage the mice to nest in your walls... a bad idea. Or, they get used to the sound. In my basement I still have an occasional mouse problem, I'm using good old snap traps, poison for a backup (but I'm no longer a fan of poison since the EPA recently forced a formulation change on all manufacturers, which IMHO can possibly attract more mice, at the very least it causes a much slower death) and I'm about to try an electronic shock-type trap. This is after spending proably about 7 days this summer, trying to plug every hole, making a wire mesh boundary along the foundation and/or 4" of pea gravel 36" out from the foundation around the entire perimeter, etc. Not a fun job but I'm determined to keep them out fo my basement, a tough challenge for my 200 year old farmhouse with a 3' thick stone foundation. The snow hit before I could block the underside of the vinyl siding, another favorite entry point, so it's hard to say where those rascals are getting in. I did see a mouse go in a hole just outside my pea gravel, which is 36" out. The experts say they won't tunnel that far. But sure enough I caught one that night. All my work has reduced the number of mice by a lot, I'm down to maybe one every 1-2 weeks, sometimes longer. My advice boils down to this: 1. Eliminate ALL entryways... PERMANENTLY... with something non-chewable (1/4" hardware cloth, flashing, or stone or concrete). You can plug holes with copper mesh and great stuff. They're attracted to heat in the winter and will figure out how to get in if your cracks and holes aren't sealed properly. Eliminate food and water sources. These steps should be your first line of defense. 2. You have to kill them. You will never encourage them to stay away. They breed faster than you can imagine. 3. Where you catch one, there are probably many, many more. Take a "shock and awe" approach and stay on top of checking them and resetting every day, and use a lot of traps. Doing it one or two at a time doesn't work. Hope this helps.

The packaging shows 2 night lights and 1 bug detergent. what was in the package I received was 1 night light and 2 bug deterrent only. I was ordering for the night lights and bought the shown package because that was what was offered.. Disappointed not as shown, but not worth fussing about. I am enjoying the one night light. And quality seems fine as was packaging and delivery.

Excellent product. They keep mice and rats away with one caveat. Secure all non canned food items, humans and pets, in plastic containers. Mice and rats can chew through anything but steel. If you have a rodent infestation it must be first eliminated. DON'T use poison. If a rat dies inside the walls you will regret it, not to mention poison is terribly cruel way to kill. As one reviewer said as long as the critters have a food and water source these repellers won't discourage them sufficiently to leave. I have these things all over the house, food secured and haven't had an infestation in the 3 years since I installed them. Don't buy them here. 44 bucks is a gouge. Go to the Victor web site and get them much cheaper.
