Do these packs actually get rid of mice?

No. They are a scent deterrent, not a trap or poison. They may push mice out of a small enclosed space, but an established infestation needs sealing entry points and traps.

How long does each pack last?

Victor rates each pack for up to 30 days. In practice the mint smell fades sooner in warm or ventilated spots, so replace when you can no longer smell it.

Are they safe around pets and children?

The packs use peppermint oil on corn cob granules, and Victor says they are safe around people and non-rodent pets when used as directed. Keep the pouches out of reach so pets do not chew them.

Where should I place them?

Use them in small enclosed spaces: drawers, closets, cupboards, attics, sheds, garages and car interiors. They work poorly in open, drafty rooms.

Can I use them in my car?

Yes, they are commonly placed under seats or in the trunk. Expect a strong mint smell in a closed cabin at first.

Do they work on rats as well as mice?

Victor lists both mice and rats, but the effect is weaker on rats, which are bolder and less bothered by scent alone.

Our take on the Victor Scent-Away Mouse Repellent - 5 Pack

Victor Scent-Away packs are mesh pouches of corn cob granules soaked in peppermint oil, meant to be placed in closets, cupboards, attics, sheds and car interiors to push mice and rats away by smell. Each pack is ready to use and rated to keep working for up to 30 days before it needs replacing. They are a deterrent, not a trap or poison, so they suit people who want a no-kill, low-mess option in small enclosed spaces. Compared with traps and baits, they do nothing to a rodent population that is already established, and the mint smell fades, so expect to rebuy and to combine them with sealing gaps and traps.
