Hi, Mark

Never heard of this before!
The fellow describes it as having "menthol and parrafin"- the idea is that mice don't like the smell and "slightly oily" texture, right?
Sounds like sprayable Vick's Vaporub!.
I wonder if it'll load up with dust, etc....

Let us know how it works...

One of the best things I've seen, for a fixed location (not traveling) is to get a short bucket, like a 2 gal paint pail.. heck a 1 gal would work too. Fix a pivot point about 1/4 of the way across and attach a paint stick that rests on the side closest to the pivot point but extends less than half way across the bucket. Fill with about 3" of water, put some peanut butter on the far end and a ramp for the mice to crawl up to the paint stick.. they wander out to get the p'butta and oops.. the paint stick overbalances with the mouses weight and the mouse is taking swimming lessons.. but, the best thing is that the stick re-sets itself.. ready for another mouse.. great experiment in simple physics

The "bucket trap"!
Yes!
My Mother-in-law taught us that one, and it works!
Of course, that's after the little buggers get into wherever...
It'll be interesting to see how this new product works out for folks.

My newest addition to the kit in the trailer is the "sticky trap".
I always start out mouse-free, but field mice seem to hang around campgrounds, and I've picked up more than one while camping.
I kind of hate to kill 'em- seems like I'm in their territory, after all...
When I'm home on my own turf, it's a different story!
Those sticky traps work real well, and a squirt of Pam turns the critter loose outside where he belongs.
