Problem: Rodents are tearing into trash outdoors causing an unsightly and unsanitary mess. The exposure to rodents is also a public health and safety concern.
How to correctly use the Mint-X Rodent Repellent Trash Bag to solve this problem:
- Use only the Mint-X Rodent Repellent Trash Bags, as co-mingling with other, non-scented trash bags will reduce the effectiveness of the Mint-X Bag.
- Clean the trash storage area thoroughly, remove any clutter that serves as shelter and make sure there is no water nearby.
- Snap traps, glue boards and bait traps must be used in conjunction with the Mint-X Trash Bags as the Mint-X Bag will keep rodents away from the human food source (our trash) and will drive them to alternate food sources such as bait and snap traps.
- For larger rodents, it is recommended to double-bag the trash for the first two weeks.
