I bought it in November or December and I think it's helped.

Thanks for the info :-)
I am in the belief that unless the rodent is in a cage like pet mice, pet rats
and their cousins the hamsters and gerbils. They are vermin to be dealt with.
I try to use natural and organic methods of pest control due to my sensativity
and the fact that I have pets. Also my friends bring their children to my home
when they visit.
I only use chemicals in the worse case scenerio.

Peppermint oil is best used indoors as a rodent deterrent. I’ve used it
effectively in quantity with spearmint oil to deter mice. You need high
concentrations. The amount required is very noticeable to the human nose.
The fragrance dissipates quickly outdoors, and the larger rodents still go
about their business. A bed of peppermint is a reasonable approach if you have
an area that can be dedicated to its invasive habits. In combination with
spearmint , it can help during the growing season.
Neighbors used predator urine (available online and from several types of
predators at Valley View Farms) to drive out a rodent infestation from their
yard. Rodents emigrated to other yards, which simply spread the problem. The
correct way to use such a deterrent is to diligently bait the rodents until
they are gone. Then this deterrent may be used to keep new infestations from
returning.
I hope that everyone in the neighborhood will join in the campaign to keep the
neighborhood very clean and the urban rats very unwelcome (yes this does mean a
bit of work). I realize that some will argue about rats’ rights to multiply,
but humans and wild rats are simply not compatible from a health standpoint.
This is an “us or them” level of hazard. Please don’t wait until your friend
is at death’s door in Union Memorial to believe the seriousness of the rodent
matter.

rodents.
