12V sonic rodent repeller that is pet-friendly?

[mustangmike2176]

I plan on parking/storing my car for the Canadian winter in my attached garage. I installed a heater, so it should work just fine. I have two dogs and am worried about the sonic pulses from an electronic rodent repeller wreaking havoc with them. The wall between the garage and house is two sheets of drywall with regular insulation in between. The room opposite the garage is a TV viewing room, so my dogs are in there quite often.

Will the frequency from an electronic device penetrate two sheets of drywall and insulation, causing me concern about my dogs inside? Is there a pet-friendly electronic device that repels rodents (primarily mice)? Google hasn't been very helpful, and I have tried searching this forum but the "pet friendly" aspect seems to be missing from many posts.

I appreciate any insight or links I can check out.

I use a combination of the peppermint spray you can find on Amazon and a flashing strobe light- they are supposed to hate the smell of peppermint and the flashing strobe light is supposed to really mess with them.....

I am in Southern CA but near a river bed/ national forest so we do get rodents - same thing my buddy uses in Flagstaff AZ- where they definitely get rodents

I went this way for same reason as you - we have two dogs and even if I couldnt hear it doesnt mean they cant - and I didnt want to do that to them .....

So far so good for both my buddy in Flagstaff and myself - or we are just lucky.... but we have both been using this set up for years......

I imagine I would need a couple strobe lights; one under the hood and one under the car? I like this option and I suppose I would need to refresh the peppermint scent weekly or so? I wouldn't mind as it would give me a good excuse to see my car.

We just do one strobe under the car....but hey nothing wrong with 2 just to be sure....and yep need to redo the spray weekly .....and yes always looking for an excuse to go in the garage!!
