We've used Cab Fresh for the last 4 years. It smells "sort of" like Juniper berries and isn't too "lingering" once winter is over and we're able to open up the camper. I also use it on my tractor (under the hood) and in all my ATV's, UTV's and the boat. Since putting those "little packets" in things, I haven't had any mouse droppings or damage to anything in the pole barn. Up here, as the weather starts to cool, it's common to have a "mouse infestation" anywhere that it's warm and dry. Our pole barn is a natural for mice to congregate, but since using Cab Fresh, none seem to even come close. It also seems to keep the chipmunk population out of the barn as well.

I'm reluctant to use warfarin, Decon or any other type of poison. If the mice eat it, then leave the barn, owls, hawks, etc that prey on the mice also ingest the poison, so it's not a good idea to use it if avoidable. IMHO.....
