Shoppers hail 'miracle' mouse repellent spray that clears homes of rodents in two weeks

As the autumn chill sets in, it's not just us humans who are seeking warmth. Mice, rats and other rodents often find refuge in our homes and buildings to escape the cold. However, Amazon customers have discovered a non-toxic solution that they claim helps deter these unwelcome guests.

The AMZ BRAND Premium Mouse Repellent Spray offers a natural alternative to traditional traps and is safe to use around children and pets. Priced at £21.99 on Amazon, with free delivery for Prime Members, shoppers can also enjoy an additional 5% off with the brand's exclusive voucher discount code available at checkout.

The spray contains a mix of natural ingredients including castor oil and peppermint oil, which rodents find uninviting. This means that when you use the spray, the rodents aren't killed or harmed, but instead encouraged to leave your home. Users also report that the peppermint oil leaves a 'pleasant odour', a welcome change from the scent of other repellent products.

This powerful spray can be used in any room of the house, including the attic, basement, and garage, as well as in outbuildings like garden sheds, to keep unwanted critters at bay. To use, simply clean up any signs of rodent activity, shake the bottle, and spray along the routes you think the pests are taking. Although the effects aren't instantaneous and require some patience, the manufacturer claims that you should notice a considerable decrease in rodent activity within one to two weeks.

Many pleased customers have attested to the product's efficacy, earning it an impressive 4.5-star rating from over 2,600 reviews. One reviewer gushed: "Fantastic product and have used for three weeks and have good success with deterring mice in a flat.

"I was concerned before buying that the smell might be offensive or pungent, especially as my partner is sensitive to strong smells, but in fact it is quite the opposite and we both really quite like the smell of it so that's a bonus! I also like the delivery system and great aftercare from the company. Overall great product and would purchase another if ever needed."

Another reviewer raved: "After trying several repellent sprays, I found this one to be the one! It's brilliant. Pleasant smell to us humans. Comes with full instructions and also has a really long-distance spray, which is handy if you are scared of going right into the loft! I would give 10 stars if possible."

And a third shared their experience: "I bought this spray after finding mouse droppings in my children's bedrooms. I was mortified and didn't sleep for days. I tried humane traps but they didn't work for me. I was reluctant to put poison down in case the children (or my dogs) touched it. I'll be honest, I tried this spray as a last resort.

"Despite the amazing reviews, I was more than a little sceptical. I gave the rooms a thorough clean, removed any junk from the floor and sprayed. It smelt surprisingly OK (I left the bedroom windows open for a good few hours). Two weeks on and I'm relieved to say that I haven't found any more evidence of mice inside my house.

"It's a miracle! I'm going to keep on spraying every couple of weeks as a precaution. I can honestly, wholeheartedly, recommend this spray. It worked a treat for me. Worth every penny."

While plenty of users reported success with the product, some reviews conveyed disappointment. One user's feedback stated: "It seemed to work for a while, but now that it's virtually run out, it seems the creature has got used to it, as it has started coming out in the night again."

Another expressed dissatisfaction with: "Sorry to say that this did not repel the mice in my attic on this occasion. That's not to say that it will not work for others, as some reviewers have said that it did work for them. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. Sorry. It was definitely worth a try though!"

If you're looking for a humane way to keep rodents away from your home, consider ultrasonic pest repellents. These devices emit signals that are inaudible to mice and spiders but harmless to pets and humans. The Beacon Dual Action Mouse and Rat Repeller is one such electronic device that can help deter mice and rats. It's available at Homebase for £30.
