rat deterrent – Words from The Peeman

It is Wednesday, the PeeMan’s favorite day of the week! The day when I get to share with the whole world my pee-related wisdom. My wife would say that I do that every day BUT only Wednesday is “Ask the PeeMan” day on the blog. Enjoy!

Q. Hi. I’m pretty much sold, but we live in Chicago and the things come to our yard from the alley. Question: how does it smell to humans? We want to repel the rats so we can enjoy the patio. And…will it drive my small dog crazy? I honestly don’t care that much, if the rats leave us alone. Thx for your reply

A. CoyotePee smell dissipates quickly beyond range of the human nose and your dog will just be curious. Here is the link:

It’s Wednesday again and time for our weekly “Ask The PeeMan” segment. Rodents seem to be coming up a lot this time of year. The PeeMan has the answer.

Q. Good afternoon!
I have a question regarding the Coyote PeeShots . I’m looking at them for a basement style room with a large sliding door that opens onto a driveway. It’s a fairly busy beach area, and we have rats! Our organization works with children, so this is a no go! The description says that they are “long-lasting,” and I’m wondering how long that typically is. Please let me know what the average length of use is.

Thank you!
Best,
Caroline

A. Caroline,
At least a month. 2 months or more if there isn’t much air circulation in the placement area – like under a sink.

Q. I came across your site through a company called “Solutions”. I have had an issue with having mice enter my house over the past 2-4 years. I am not sure of their entry point BUT I really would like to deter them from entering at all !!!

My house is small, 984 sq. feet….. full basement below, attached garage with door leading to back patio. I am wondering how much of the bobcat or coyote urine I would need to protect my home throughout the winter season. Also, where should I place the deterrents? I do have dogs in the home, so I am also wondering what their response will be to this product.

Thank you
Kristine

A. Kristine,
Thank you for contacting the PeeMan. If you have mice already in your home, use our Bobcat PeeShots for indoor use.
Mice usually enter near openings like where wires and pipes come in, or under garage doors etc. Use the Bobcat Trigger spray bottle and squirt around any areas like that. Dogs will just be curious nothing more. See all the bobcat products for mice at this link:
