When the autumn cold starts to bite, it’s not just us Londoners who are looking for a cozy place. Mice, rats and other annoying rodents often seek shelter in our homes and buildings to escape the cold.
However, Amazon shoppers have stumbled upon a non-toxic solution that they say helps ward off these uninvited guests. AMZ BRAND Premium Mouse Repellent Spray offers a natural alternative to traditional traps and is safe to use around children and pets.
Retailing at £21.99 on Amazon, with free delivery for Prime members, customers can also get an extra 5% off with the brand’s exclusive voucher discount code at checkout. The spray has a blend of natural ingredients including castor oil and peppermint oil, which rodents find frightening.

This means that when you spray, the rodents are not killed or injured, but pushed instead of leaving your home. Users also report that the peppermint oil leaves a “pleasant smell,” a refreshing change from the smell of other repellent products.
This powerful spray can be used in any room of the house, including the attic, basement and garage, as well as in outbuildings such as garden sheds, to keep unwanted animals at bay. To use, simply clean up any signs of rodent activity, shake the bottle and spray along the routes you suspect the pests are taking, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Although the effects are not immediate and require some patience, the manufacturer claims that you should see a significant reduction in rodent activity within one to two weeks.
They added: “I was worried before I bought that the smell might be offensive or pungent, especially as my partner is sensitive to strong smells, but in fact it’s the opposite and we both really like the smell of it so that’s a bonus I like also the delivery system and the amazing aftercare from the company.I would buy another one if ever needed.
Another review came in with high praise: “After trying several repellent sprays, I found this one to be the one! It’s brilliant. Nice smell for us humans. Comes with full instructions and also has a really long range spray which is handy if you are afraid to go directly into the loft, I would give 10 stars if possible.”
Furthermore, a third customer explained: “I bought this spray after finding mouse droppings in my children’s bedroom. I was upset and didn’t sleep for days. I tried humane traps but they didn’t work for me. I was reluctant to put poison down in case the kids (or my dogs) touched it, I’ll be honest, I tried this spray as a last resort.
One reviewer was skeptical at first but was pleasantly surprised: “Despite the great reviews I was more than a little skeptical. I cleaned the rooms thoroughly, removed all the debris from the floor and sprayed. It smelled surprisingly OK (I left) the bedroom windows open for a few hours ).Two weeks later and I’m relieved to say I’ve found no more evidence of mice in my house.”
They continued: “It’s a miracle! I will continue to spray every two weeks as a precaution. I can honestly, wholeheartedly recommend this spray. It worked a treat for me. Worth every penny.”
However, not all users had the same success. One reviewer noted, “It seemed to work for a while, but now that it’s almost over, the creature seems to have gotten used to it, as it has started to come out again at night.”
Another reviewer expressed disappointment, saying: “Sorry to say this did not repel the mice in my attic on this occasion. Not saying it won’t work for others, as some reviewers have said it did for them. Sorry , it didn’t work for me. But it was definitely worth a try!
You can pick up AMZ Rodent Repellent Spray on Amazon. For those looking for alternative humane methods of deterring rodents, ultrasonic repellants are an option. These devices emit signals that are inaudible to humans and pets but unpleasant to mice and spiders.
The Beacon Dual Action Mouse and Rat Repeller, available from Homebase for £30, is one such device that can help keep mice and rats away.
