Product Information

If you’re not up for making your own essential oil spray, products like Mighty Mint’s Peppermint Oil Rodent Repellent Spray are easily found online and work just as well as chemical products. If you have many pests besides squirrels, you can choose an ultrasonic repeller with adjustable frequency to target them all. Trim any branches which might offer squirrels easy access to your roof, feeders, or birdbath. Squirrels can jump around 7 feet (2.13 m) from one perch to another but don’t like to drop more than 9 feet (2.74 m) or so onto another surface. The easiest way to get this scent is to find a commercial manufacturer. They are surprisingly easy to find in outdoor stores or online. For example, American Heritage carries natural coyote urine in a 16oz bottle for a very affordable price. The device works by emitting alternating ultrasonic and pressure waves in a high frequency ranging from 25 kHz to 60 kHz. This can be annoying to squirrels, mice, and other pests.

Yes, you should. Even if the manufacturer claims that there is no need to replace/change or add new portions of a repellent, we still recommend you do. Especially after a heavy rain. I highly reccomend taking a look at our guide on using peppermint to deter squirrels, it gives you a bit more detail as to why its effective! Cinnamon Keeps Squirrels Away Keep in mind, though, that ultrasonic waves slowdown in force passing through solid objects. So it will be most effective in the room you plug it into. Cinnamon, specifically ground cinnamon, repels squirrels. This is because cinnamon in larger doses can infuriate the sinus cavities of a squirrel. Gardens: They might not be the first thing you think of when you think garden pests, but squirrels are notorious for digging up gardens for both seeds and vegetables. It’s in their nature to dig and store, and to them, a garden is a supermarket. Keep an eye out for little piles of disturbed soils and areas that they seem to return to over and over.Contains plant-origin ingredients (garlic, peppermint, rosemary oils, white pepper) with questionable effectiveness / It is not advisable you consume fruits or veggies treated with a repellent, especially if you are allergic to any of its components. That is why we recommend using repellents either by placing them directly underneath the plants or by mounting a barrier around the plants and applying the repellent on there. Of course, keeping squirrels from your garden and home can be a challenging task. However, with the right squirrel repellents, proper knowledge, and techniques, it is very much possible. In summary: The device is quite large and thus looks more realistic. It’s made of high-quality plastic and hand-painted for an effective appearance. They also need water. Your bird bath may become a squirrel drinking fountain. If there are nearby branches, they can jump onto the bath’s rim. Clean water can be hard to find in the wild, so if there are abundant sources of fresh water in your yard, they are sure to notice.

While the effectiveness of such deterrents is questionable, they are still recommended as the first line of defense against nuisance wildlife. It works by emitting non-repetitive pitches of ultrasonic sound that will frighten and bring discomfort to the rodent.The great thing about this spray is that you can also add any essential oils you’d like. See below why peppermint oil is a great choice!
