Thanks for purchasing Moen’s Mouse-Mix! Please review the instructions below to guide you in accurately treating your problem areas. Please e-mail with further questions about our mouse repellent.
Divide Your Moen’s Mouse-Mix
Your large bag should be divided into 8-12 of the small ziplock bags that came with your purchase. Small “snack-size” bags also work very well. They don’t need to be plump-full. 3/4 full is just fine.
Vent Your Smaller Bags
You should vent your smaller snack-size bags. This can be done by simply poking 10-12 holes in each bag with a sharp pencil.
Put Bags Around Problem Areas
Mice travel following along the wall for safety. Lay the smaller bags in corners and along the baseboard of a room with the vented air holes you made facing up.
Place a vented bag of Moen’s Mouse-Mix mouse repellent about every 4-6 feet.
For treating basements, you should put the small bags you made up high on cement walls between floor joists. For treating the kitchen area, you can hide bags under the sink, under your stove, refrigerator, and inside of cabinet drawers.
Using Cement Block Foundation
Cement block foundations are an easy highway for mice to navigate throughout your home. The blocks are hollow and mice travel around the whole basement within the block walls. You want to perimeter off in-between floor joists on top of the cement block walls or in the basement’s false ceilings (every 2-4 feet) by placing the small bags of Moen’s Mouse-Mix mouse repellent there. If your basement is finished or has complete drywall, then heavily treat the areas where you can get to the block foundation. These areas can include: laundry and furnace rooms, closets, under-stairway storage rooms, crawl spaces, etc. You shouldn’t place the little bags of product on the floor of a basement unless you know that the mice are truly on the basement floor.
