The AP Products 020-126 Fresh Cab Rodent Repellent isa botanical deterrent designed to repel mice and rats using a scent derived from essential oils. It is made by EarthKind, with the AP Products brand using the same product for use primarily in recreational vehicles (RVs) and other equipment.
Product features and ingredients
Form: The repellent comes in pouches containing plant fibers and essential oils.
Main ingredients: The active ingredient is balsam fir needle essential oil. Other ingredients include corn cob chips (which are used as plant cellulose fiber) and a proprietary blend of essential oils like rosemary, lavender, cedarwood, and lemon.
Mechanism: The pleasant, woodsy scent is offensive to rodents and is designed to drive them away rather than kill them.
Safety and environmental information:
It is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The ingredients are 100% natural, and the product is biodegradable and safe for use around children and pets when used as directed.
It offers a humane, no-kill alternative to traps and poisons.
Longevity: The scent of the repellent is effective for approximately 30 to 90 days, depending on usage. Users should replace the pouches once the scent has diminished.
