⚠ Warning for anyone buying rodent repellent pouches online
Stop Buying Rodent Repellent Pouches on Amazon Until You Read This
Fresh droppings a week after setting them out? You probably paid for four oils and got one. Here's how to spot it in 10 seconds, before mice move in for winter.
You paid for "four ingredients." You set them out in the garage. A week later: fresh droppings. Sometimes right on the pouch.
It's not that pouches don't work. It's one of three things.
1It was just peppermint in a bag
Lots of pouches run on one oil, and one oil fades. In a 2022 lab study on house mice, peppermint's effect was gone by day 7.
Peppermint didn't fail you. It faded. GoneRuna packs 4 intense ingredients into every pouch, so the scent doesn't hinge on one oil.
✅ The 10-second check
- Flip the pack. No oils and percentages listed? You don't know what you're getting.
- Open it. A real pouch hits you with an intense mint blast from three feet away and feels dense in your hand.
2It went down after the mice moved in
Pouches are a "No Vacancy" sign, not an eviction notice. Set out early, they stop them settling in your garage, shed or camper. They won't move out a family that's already nesting.

No signs, or the odd dropping? Set GoneRuna out now, before the first cold snap.
Fresh droppings every morning? Trap and seal first, then use GoneRuna to keep new ones out.

Rodent prevention for the places you want back
Place. Monitor. Refresh.
Set them out on close-up day, the last thing you do before you lock up for winter. Enclosed, low-airflow spots near walls, corners and stored gear.
| Space | Pouches |
|---|---|
| Pantry or closet | 1 |
| Shed (10×12) | 2 |
| Camper or travel trailer | 3–4 |
| Single garage | 4 |
| Double garage | 6–7 |
Rule of thumb: 1 pouch per 65 sq. ft. Up to 90 days per pouch; less in heat or airflow.
📅 Storing November to April?
That's longer than one pouch lasts. Swap in fresh pouches in early February and your space stays covered until you open up in spring.
Less resetting. Less reapplying.
| GoneRuna | Cotton balls | Traps | Poison | |
