We deal with the same problem every winter: mice in the walls keeping us awake at night.
That constant scratching sound. You know the one. That skittering noise that starts just as you're falling asleep.
Then you're lying there wide awake, staring at the ceiling, wondering how many are up there.
This year was the worst. We have a toddler now, and she started waking up crying because she could hear the "scary sounds" in her walls.
My husband and I were exhausted. Neither of us were sleeping.
We tried traps. Caught a few, but the scratching continued.
I refused to use poison, not with a toddler crawling around, not with our dog who gets into everything. Plus, I couldn't stomach the idea of dead mice rotting inside our walls for weeks.
Then I found PestLab.
I'll be honest: I was skeptical. I'd seen those cheap ultrasonic plug-ins on Amazon with ridiculous promises.
But after reading about the dual-technology system and seeing hundreds of real reviews from families like mine, I figured it was worth trying. 90-day guarantee, so what did I have to lose?
Ordered the 6-pack so we could cover the whole house. They arrived in 3 days.
1 hour in: Plugged them into every room where we'd heard scratching, bedroom, daughter's room, kitchen, living room, attic, basement. Silent operation.
Couldn't hear anything (which is the point).
24 hours: The scratching seemed... less frequent? I wasn't sure if it was working yet or if I was just hopeful.
Day 2: The scratching stopped completely. Dead silence. I actually slept through the entire night.
Day 3: Complete elimination. No scratching anywhere. No droppings. No signs of mice.
That was 2 months ago.
We haven't heard a single scratch since. My daughter sleeps soundly through the night.
My husband and I are well-rested for the first time in months. Our home feels like ours again.
No poison. No traps. No dead animals. No scratching sounds. Just plug them in and they work.
I only wish I'd found PestLab sooner.
