  • @grenadenazi
    @grenadenazi 5 лет назад +5

    The only issue i have is that the rats and mice feel safe already inside a structure. When they attempt to cross these lights outside they are usually attempting to access a safe interior structure. I highly recommend some sort of outside test. Not sure how you would do it but a structure like an rv is tempting for safety reasons for rodents, some toy cars with bait on them is not really the same concept. Love your videos btw!

  • @MrThreadhead

    Shawn, I think it depends on the species of mouse/rat. Here in AZ we have the nocturnal "packrat" (a type of woodrat) that frequent your cars and trucks and *love* to eat your wires and build nests inside. A well tested method to keep them out is a bright light under the hood.

    Hi Shawn. It’s supposed to be blinking the lights. It does work. Especially although mice are color blind certain colors do deter them. Also concentrated ginger essential oil not diluted mixed with clove essential oil also helps deter but for a certain amount of time.

  • @hughbrackett343
    @hughbrackett343 5 лет назад +14

    I wonder if flashing lights would work. It would be best if they flashed randomly but you could start with normal flashing lights. If the results are promising I could cobble up a random flasher for you. Of course it would surely annoy humans but it might be ok for unoccupied ateas.

    The question of light deterrence is still open for me since a barn or shed where they have previously infested seems different from an RV or vehicle that is transient and may not have the smell or familiarity. I am interested if permanently mounted under-chassis, and under hood lights would deter entrance and/or wire chewing of parked RVs and tow or towed vehicles. RV parks out west are recommending leaving the hood of your tow or towed vehicle up to deter rodents. If that works, why doesn't any light deter? Also, it looked in the video like they were specifically trying to get at bait inside the toy RVs. Is that true or this is just typical behavior? Is that different behavior than a mouse would exhibit when looking for a nesting place, like under the hood of a vehicle or closed spaces in RVs? Would under-vehicle and under hood lights deter them from climbing in to nest vs foraging for baited food? I dont know how a test would be done without multiple cameras, including IR or low light to capture and maybe calculate total time spent under a vehicle. And repeat on multiple days/nights with under-lights on and off successively. That also brings up another question: do rodents only invade during dark, or also during the day? Thanks for testing and producing these videos anyway!

    Is there a difference between established mice eating in a location and moving in? I mean, given two side by side barns to move in to, maybe they wouldn't choose the one with soap, dryer sheets, carolina reapers, mothballs, wolf urine, annoying frequency LED rope light, or whatever because the other barn is more tolerable. At a minimum maybe you could test in your already infested barn but with a side by side choice of repellent food and repellent free food.

    Love the short and interesting videos. Just curious if all of your "mythbuster" results would change if you didn't have a plentiful supply of food just beyond the barrier. I think the natural desire to eat and ready food supply will trump any of their hesitation to overcome the obstacle. How about trying to put the food a long distance away and then put the mothballs, peppermint, irish spring, etc in front of their access holes. If there was a maze with a blocked path and an open path where they had to choose to go this might provide a different result. Look forward to the results.

    Rats did $7k worth of damage to the electrical system in my car. They also chewed up the soundproofing material. Thank goodness for comprehensive coverage.

    Shawn, has anyone suggested using 10% Ammonia as a rodent repellent? I had a problem with mice and red squirrels getting in my camper this past winter, and a friend (who has a PhD in Chemistry) suggested trying the "Janitorial Strength" Ammonia available at Ace Hardware. When I winterized it this fall, I placed a few containers in areas where I found nests last year. Hoping that it does the trick!

      P.S. You have already demonstrated that our previous attempts, i.e. dryer sheets, peppermint oil, moth balls...have done nothing but keep it from smelling too musty. All the best!

    Interesting. Thanks for testing that. I'd always heard you need to use a strobe/flash to drive them away. That would be a good test too to see if that's a myth or effective at all.
