cheap mouse control that actually works - stopped wasting money on traps and exterminators

i tracked what i spent on mouse control last year and it came out to almost $350. monthly exterminator visits that caught maybe 2 mice total, snap traps from the hardware store, glue traps (cruel and gross), ultrasonic plug ins (absolute garbage), bucket traps, you name it. tried it all and still had mice every single month from october to march :(

this year i spent $32 on a box of bugmd rodent repellent pouches and thats it. placed them throughout the basement and garage where we always had activity. that was back in november and we havent seen a single dropping since. replaced them once in february since each pouch lasts 90 days

$32 vs $350 and better results. thats the kind of frugal i can get behind. not the "spend less money on something that doesnt work" kind but actually solving the problem for less

they smell like pine and peppermint which i actually dont mind. way better than the smell of dead mouse in the wall that you cant reach which happened twice last year with poison. at least with repellent theyre leaving not dying in your walls
