LoraffeUnder Hood Animal Car Repeller Battery Operated Rodent Electronic Repellent Ultra Sonic Rat Strobe Light Mouse Repelling Device for Pest in Car 2 Pack

We purchased the Loraffe Pack of 2 Under Hood Animal Repeller Battery Operated Rodent Repellent Ultrasonic Rat Strobe Light Mouse Deterrent for Car Engine Garage Attic Warehouse Indoor Pest Control, Vehicle Protection as we had a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid (just traded in on a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek) and also a 2016 Honda Pilot. Mice were getting up in the hood and above the hood insulator pad of both the Pilot and the Civic, and building a nest in the blower fan housing (above the cabin filter) of the Civic. WE had tried EVERYTHING, mainly pillow batting soaked in Peppermint Oil, but once the oil evaporated/dispersed, they came right back!We're trying the Loraffe Under Hood Animal Repeller Battery Operated Rodent Repellent Ultrasonic devices as it was getting expensive to keep replacing the hood insulator assemblies. Very easy to mount in to the Pilot and the new Subaru; instead of using the ties included, I used heavy duty exterior grade Velcro stuck to the back of the devices and placed the other Velcro side on a firm plastic area that was easy to access when the hood was open. It seems that the mice were getting into the engine compartment and then climbing up the firewall to access the hood insulator. As a precautionary measure, I then used some other wire ties and attached a short length of aluminum decorative type chain that I had to the device's mounting holes on one end in the event that the Velcro fails and the device comes loose and drops.We shall see how these devices work before replacing the hood insulator on my Pilot (the danged mice stripped the fibers out of the insulator on the Pilot and had carried it over to the Civic when we had it!! Don't want to take any chances with a new car in the carport!Update4/21/2021 after 2 weeks using the devices in 2 cars:. Picture shown is a BEFORE picture of area underneath the engine cover on a 2016 Honda Pilot. I'd forgotten to check under the engine cover that snaps on to posts above the engine. I had to order another engine cover assembly due to an overly enthusiastic mechanic and to mice chewing the 4 rubber grommets that slip over the posts on engine.When the new engine cover arrived, I took the old one off and there was no sign what-so-ever of any mouse activity under the engine cover, nor in the hood insulator yet! I also have used an aluminum adhesive HVAC tape on the hood insulator (placed on the upside between insulator and the metal hood of the vehicle and placed the battery powered ultrasonics device, along with the 'promotional' 12V device sent by the company along the back firewall where the mice were crawling up into the hood area. Same placement on our new Subaru. I check every morning when I turn the devices off for the day (turn them on at sunset). So far, no mice and I'm very happy with the units!

I've got 2 in my '48 Packard and 2 more in my '52 Chevy. One under the hood and one on the front seat.Keep a batch of batteries handy as they only last about 3 months before it stops working.

The alarm cycle through lights, silent alarm & non- audible alarm. I have bought several of these items. Some of the boxes I could hear the alarm, some others I could not, with or without the test button on. I dont mind hearing the alarm as long as it repels the rodent which is a squirrel. I had to have 3 of these boxes in my 2011 Ford Escape in order for it to be effective to repel the squirrel. I strongly recommend the unit that uses a C battery as it has a 67 day expiration, whereas the 3 AAA one is every 30 days. So you go through more batteries for the 30 day one. Make sure you set a reminder calendar. I also use Moth balls with this setup. Trial and error, initially I used 1 device- with natural products- the squirrel got me... I then added a 2nd alarm with natural products- squirrel got me again... so I added 1 more alarm, have not had an issue thus far. The ppl below me also got hit- they have 2 alarms on each of their vehicles. So its best to have multiple alarms so they cycle in opposite to each other.

Bought several of these. Have them under the hood of vehicles that aren't garaged. Noise keeps rodents from eating the wire coatings, which are made with soy beans after 2008.
