Steve,
We have 2 research facilities here. In our labs it was proven the sonic devices did not work. We have also checked other products and urban legends. They don't hold up in the lab. It is funny sometimes the stuff people tell us they use.
I had one pack rat running through the garden. So far I trapped 10, I am shocked how many I've gotten.
Relocation is not recommended, animals do not know the area and can't find food or new living quarters.
I set my traps once it gets dark and check them n the morning. I keep them closed during the day so I don't catch anything else. My husband set a trap for me and in about 5 minutes we got a stupid rabbit that we let go.
Our deer don't seem to bother anything here. We think they are cute.....
I have some bug eating some of my plants now. It's always something!
We have shipped RId-A-Rats all over the US, people are using them for other critters that are getting in their cars.
