We used in the fields of Nebraska and never had a mouse even think about moving in. Fresh Cab is very safe for animals. Mice don't like the smell. Using Fresh Cab the mice will hold happy hours and talk about you and warn other mice to stay clear of the White Lion. And, no - I am not affiliated or paid to promote Fresh Cab. I use myself in my RV, yard sheds, and garages.
