Guide for Optimal Results
1. Use only Mint-X Rodent Repellent Trash Bags.
When putting out the trash, be sure to use only Mint-X Trash Bags. It is important not to commingle with other, non-Mint-X Trash Bags. Rodents are famous for going into “feeding frenzies.” A “Feeding Frenzy”, as it applies to trash bags, is when a group of rodents enter into a state of blind, aggressive eating. These feeding frenzies spread food everywhere and potentially reduce the effectiveness of the Mint-X Trash Bags. Use only Mint-X Trash Bags to create a force field around your garbage.
2. The Mint-X Trash Bag becomes more effective with repetitive usage.
Rodents are creatures of habit. This is the very reason why your trash gets torn into by the same rodents every night. Just as they learned that your house/property is the one with the delicious lasagna, they will learn that your trash is now the one that has trash that smells of terrible mint… and they’ll learn to stay away.
The Mint-X Trash Bags have been proven to reduce animal torn bags after one week of repetitive usage. If you just bought Mint-X Trash Bags and noticed that your bags were still torn into after the first night of usage, it’s OK; that is normal. Continue using the Mint-X Bags. The curious rodents will soon learn to stay away from the Mint-X Bags altogether.
3. For larger, more aggressive rodents, we suggest double-bagging your trash for the first week.
Larger, more aggressive rodents have the ability to tear through trash bins and containers so as you can imagine, they’ll potentially do damage to anything that’s standing in the way of their dinner. Current Mint-X Users have told us that they’ve solved this issue by double-bagging the trash for the first week or two of usage. Double-bagging the trash with Mint-X Trash Bags ensures that these rodents will have to go through twice the effort to get through the Mint-X force field, and they will learn to stay away from your trash faster. After the first week or two, you can resume single bag usage.
4. Put out bait and snap traps in conjunction with the Mint-X Trash Bag.
Using only the Mint-X Trash Bag as a means to solving your rodent problem will not work. The Mint-X Trash Bag is an extremely effective tool for keeping rodents from tearing into your trash but additional measures need to be taken to ensure that the rodents are gone for good. The primary goal of the Mint-X Trash Bag is to cut off the human food source and drive rodents to find alternative food sources such as bait and snap traps.
