Do you have to place these in their tunnels? I have voles and I don't know where their tunnels are. They live in my garage, attic and basement area.

Only have put the bait in tunnels...sorry...don't have experience hosting them for the holidays in the house. All the best. Ted

We buried ours into the soil a little bit. We have never had a problem with rodents. Smart raccoons have gotten the top offeven with the locks! At least we think they're raccoons haven't actually seen them.

I also have a problem with chipmunks, but haven't seen any in my garage or shop since I got the Pest A Cator. They have never been a problem in my barns as the mice have been. The chipmunks are just around the house, garage, and shop.

Find out where they are living and lay down a bunch of glue traps will help and that unit you bought is bogus , just caught a couple mice on glue traps, gets them everytime .

I would put one on your lowest level (this maybe your basement. In your case it might be your garage). I would also put one on my first level to make sure the levels are not too high.

Well, it did not happen with me. The mice vanished when I plugged the units in the wall socket. That was four months ago, and they never came back despite the ferocious winter. I find these devices to be excellent. Our home has wooden floors, vaulted ceiling, ceiling is wood. The ultra sounds bounce all over the place.

Good question! I wondered the same thing. I have stray cats in my area, but I've never trapped one. Only raccoons.

That depends on where you live. They require a tropical climate to thrive so in a hot, humid place like Florida they might be able to reproduce in your home. Where I live in MN they probably could not, but I keep them contained to be sure. They are not able to climb glass or slick plastic so most rubbermaid-type plastic tubs work well to keep them.

I had rats in the attic. I just threw some around where I saw the hole under the eves of the roof. I wore disposable gloves. Good luck!

I don't think so. The batteries seem to be well contained inside but I don't think it would be all that water proof to use in the yard. I think for critters on an enclosed porch it would be fine, but not directly on the ground.It costs too much for me to advise you to take that chance. Plus, it works by putting cheese or peanut butter inside the top to attract the mice......I don't think voles go for that stuff, they eat underground roots I think.

We have never had a problem with rats, so can't answer your question. I will say however, we had no mice in the garage all winter for the first time that I can remember. We have lived in this same residence for 20+ years.

animals, unlike humans, do not need winter clothes; in nature I suspect they just burrow a little hole to live in so just let em outside just a lot further from your house, they'll find a new home before they freeze. If you do get snow, I'd look for a field with a lot of bushes, low trees that would block some snow and leave some open ground. I feel that we get so caught up with the humane thing that we forget mice (and other animals) have fur and are much better adapted to "living in the woods" than most humans; however if you still feel iffy about their winter survival let them be in your home for the winter. IDEA: if you don't like a neighbor, maybe release near his/her house. You got to figure if you just let the mice out in the back yard, they're coming back in because it's easy shelter

No, I just set it down in strategic places. Did you just scatter them around? Place them on every corner in your kitchen && restroom. Roaches need food and water (like every living thing) so those are the 2 most important places. I put some like every cabinet too. Almost wasted the whole bag and I combined these traps with Roach Tablets, you can also buy them on Amazon.

It says to put them around woodpiles and hiding areas where mice might go. I put them around my foundation and under my deck stairs. You can tell if you have a good spot if the cotton inside the tubes are scattered around the tube. That means the mice have found it and more than likely took some cotton from the tick tube. If you don't see some of the cotton outside the tick tube then I would move it to a different location in about a week. Their website is also a good source for information

Just sound waves into the room. But I have not seen any spiders or mice in my house since I plugged it in. I had lots of spiders before, all kinds, in corners. I live in Michigan so they are small anyway, but the mice do try to come in from the cold. I put one in each room, and literally watched the spiders walk towards the windows in my basement in the summer. My neighbor upstairs has a really clean house, but always has mice. They don't come down here. I got three for her, but she doesn't keep them plugged in. If it went through the wires she would be covered too.

Save your money, mine are in the attic of my garage, I tried to use them once and they would not perform correctly. I had bought them quite a long time before I ever tried to use them so sending them back was not an option.

I have been using Havoc for years....with complete success.....I have found very few left over critters in the house......I had an issue in my 2 bay garage....after I baited the garage area and the sill of the house inside, I have not had a mouse in the house for years......they generally seek water.....and leave.....I would say bait the attic, but also bait the sill of your house in the basement. they can move around quickly....replace the bait, once a year.
