Eco DefensePest Control Pouches - All Natural - Repels Rodents, Silverfish, Spiders, Roaches, Ants, Squirrels, & Other Pests

I purchased these to help get rid of a bug problem in my house, and they have absolutely worked! I've used peppermint oil in the past to keep away spiders, but the smell is so strong and I don't want my house to smell like peppermint oil all the time. I wanted to be extra sure, and the box does come with a lot, so I placed one in practically every corner of my house! If you put your nose right up to the packet, it smells like a nice, relaxing blend of essential oils, but placed in the corner, I didn't notice the scent after about a day. I was worried they wouldn't work since the smell didn't take over everything, but 3 months later, I am still bug free!

I was drawn to trying this product for the price and the ease of use, and a natural and environmentally friendly option. I live in a 1914 bungalow and spiders love it-the big ones especially. Since using these packets I have not seen any large ones, only 3 smallish ones at first. It is still early-it's only been a few weeks-but so far so good. These are easy to put anywhere in my home, hidden away in cupboards or corners, I have at least one in each room. I really don't smell a strong scent coming from them so they are very discreet. I actually have one on each side of my front door outside as the spiders like to make webs across it and the porch entry. They are under cover and behind things so are not seen by anyone and they are working great! No webs around the door to walk through!

There is a scrub forest behind my house - so I sort of live in the woods and have all the woodsy wildlife to contend with - squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, groundhogs, turkeys, coyotes, snakes, sometimes a red fox, once even a small black bear ... and … mice!The mice do get into my house even though there is no foodfor them to munch on. My state certification as a baked goods producer requires that all food items my house be stored in containers that are inaccessible to wildlife and I strictly adhere to those rules. Still the mice come and sometimes they chew on plastic. I know they have been around as I have found mouse droppings in three of my kitchen drawers which means the entire drawer must be sanitized with all items going in the dishwasher and the drawers must be Cloroxed.It doesn’t happen often - but often enough to cause me angst and a lot of work. I’ve tried everything imaginable to keep them out - but mice can make their bodies flat as a sheet of paper and they will get in no matter what obstacles you put in their way. I always have mouse traps set in the basement and I sometimes catch them but that means I have to empty the traps and reset them which to me is very disgusting. It was one that my mom handled when she was alive and since she has been gone this chore falls to me. After dealing with these little twerps for many years I have finally found the answer - on amazon.com. Eco Defense Pest Control Pouches.Not cheap at $30 for 12 pouches - but well worth the expense since they actually work. At least for the past two months since I bought them. All They also require no effort on my part. All I I did was place the pouches in areas where mice have been active and the mice have not returned.So far.A patented encapsulation process combines essential oils of cedar, cinnamon, lemongrass, rosemary, mint, and peppermint oil to create the ultimate pest control barrier which hanse unpleasant odor.The package says the pouches will last from 6 to 12 months and they not only keep mice away but also spiders, ants, pantry moths and dozens of other pests.That remains to be seen. I put them in kitchen drawers, in the basement and even on my front porch to keep biting insects away from my dog.Use 1 odorant pouch for each enclosed 10 cubic feet to deter pests from intrusion or nesting. They can be used in closets, pantries, garages, even boats. Always safe around you and your family.They come with a 60-day guarantee: if you are not satisfied with the pest repelling results, they will refund your entire purchase.One complaint: the package said the pouch would also deter snakes. They did not work on my porch where a snake has come twice since I started using the pouches. But then - my porch is bigger than 10 cubic feet. I used four pouches on the porch - and they have kept MOST bugs away (not those long leggedy spiders). Everything else. Just not the snakes and long-legged spiders. Maybe I need to put the pouches on the floor instead of table tops and windowsills.

I literally just received mines yesterday, was so excited that it came.......that is until I used them! I just moved in my apartment in July only to find out there's a mice problem! I've tried the peppermint, but figured I may not have used enough, I've tried cedar planks,and those things you plug in the wall, had my scumlord plug up all the holes that I found, and have pest control come out. Which btw he did nothing! So I've decided to take matters into my own hands! I am a pretty clean person, I don't leave food out nor dishes in the sink, I'm literally always cleaning and can't stand critters 😱😱😱😖😖😖, so I've been on Amazon looking for the best solution......Which I thought I found! So , again, I've received my order 9/16/18 . Opened it right away, put them all over my apartment....mind you it's a small apartment, I put 2 in the kitchen because that's where I always see the nasty critters. (My kitchen is tiny) And guess where I seen a mouse later that night! Walking right over the pouch I put down like it was nothing! I'm pissed! I use to credit Amazon for having good honest reviews, which is why I shopped on Amazon so frequently! But this is the 2nd time back to back that the reviews seem falsely. If I hadn't threw the box out that the items came in I would pack all this mess up and send it back! None of it works! Like I'm disgusted with these mice and irritated that I'm wasting money, not trying to kill them because I don't want to have to clean it up, but if anyone know of a actual better way to truly get rid of these mice PLEEEEEAAAASE HELP ME! But don't buy this crap! It doesn't work!
