Messinas Rodent Stopper Aerosol is safe in homes with pets as long as it is used as directed.
Messinas Rodent Stopper Aerosol would not be safe to apply to the engine compartment of a vehicle. It is important that the property is addressed as a whole in order to reduce the number of mice/rats. Tamper resistant rodent bait stations loaded with bait such as Fastrac blox will help reduce the level of rodents on the property to a more manageable level. These products can be purchased together in one of Rodent Kits here. To protect individual vehicles you may want to consider using mouse snap traps or rat snap traps beneath the vehicle and resting on the vehicle tires overnight.
We have just recently started to carry the Messinas Rodent Stopper Aerosol and have not had much direct customer feedback on it yet. We can tell you that repellents can be effective at preventing infestations, but we would not recommend them for existing infestations or for use indoors. Detour Sealant has had good reviews with our customers to help with Rodent Exclusion. We would also recommend considering using bait in refillable, tamper-resistant bait stations if there is a known rodent population in the area. Our Rodent Baiting Kit includes both for a great price. You can also see more tips in our Rat Treatment Guide and Mouse Treatment Guide.
