What reviewers say

Grandpa Gus's Potent Mouse Repellent Spray

Owners of stored cars, RVs and cabins generally report the cinna-mint scent drives mice off and smells far better than chemical sprays. Many say it works best as a barrier with the pouches and needs regular reapplication to stay effective.

Pros
  • Noticeable drop in mouse activity in stored vehicles and sheds
  • Pleasant peppermint-cinnamon smell
  • Simple spray application in tight spaces
Cons
  • Effect fades faster than expected, requiring repeat sprays
  • Some mice ignore it once they are settled in
  • Strong scent indoors at first

Grandpa Gus's Extra-Strength Mouse Repellent Pouches

Ratings average 4.1 out of 5 from 93 reviews. Buyers who use them in cars, RVs and storage areas often report fewer mice and like the natural, trap-free approach. Critics say the scent fades faster than advertised and does little once mice are already inside.

Pros
  • Noticeable drop in mice in stored cars and RVs
  • Pleasant mint-cinnamon smell
  • No mess or dead rodents to handle
  • Easy to place and forget
Cons
  • Scent fades before the stated 1 to 3 months
  • Strong smell in small enclosed spaces
  • Needs several pouches for larger areas
  • Mice return after the scent wears off

Questions and answers

Which works better for a stored car or RV?
The pouches are easier for a stored vehicle: drop one in the cabin and one in the trunk and leave it. The spray is better for engine bays and seams where mice chew through.
How long does each last?
Grandpa Gus's rates the pouches at up to 30 days each, with 1-3 months of protection claimed. The spray lasts until the scent fades, roughly 1-3 months depending on airflow.
Are they safe around pets?
Both use peppermint and cinnamon oils and are listed as pet safe. Keep pets from chewing the pouches, and let sprayed surfaces dry before pets contact them.
Do I need both?
Many people use pouches as a barrier and the spray for entry points and seams. If you only buy one, pick pouches for open spaces and spray for cracks and fabric.
Is the spray worth it over the pouches?
Only if you need to treat surfaces, seams or engine compartments. For open rooms, garages and RVs, the 3-pack of pouches covers more spots for the money.
Will the scent bother people indoors?
It is extra-strength peppermint and cinnamon, so it is noticeable in small rooms. Use one pouch per 50 sq ft and ventilate if the smell is too strong.
