Better than paying for an Exterminator!
So, this will be long but worth the info. I paid quite a bit of money to a professional extermination company to get rid of rats in my attic. They set traps but never caught anything. Yet, I could hear the critters up there. I finally took matters into my own hands. I placed one Gizmomate directly in the attic and two more in other areas of my house. A couple of days later I walked the outside of my house and made sure every possible entry was sealed then dribbled peppermint oil on the area. I also sprayed a Rodent Repellent on my wood deck and around the perimeter of my home. I do believe you need to do all these steps.
YES, the Gizmomate works- the evening after plugging them in I heard tons of activity. Sounded like they were going crazy, agitated. BUT, they were still up there. Three days later they were gone. CK from Gizmomate reached out to me after first day and explained the increased activity on the first day is normal. By third night it was blissfully silent. I highly recommend this product along with taking time to do the other steps I mentioned. No more noise, no more rats! I've had it in place a couple of weeks now and just moved them to other rooms- want to keep those critters out. Buy this and peppermint oil, save yourself several hundred dollars of exterminator costs.
