Moen’s Mouse-Mix comes in two main strengths: the Regular Strength bag for a single room or vehicle, and the Farm Pack bucket for big buildings and farm equipment. They’re made the same way, with natural spices and oils and no poisons or traps. The difference is how much product you get and how strong the formula is.

Choose Regular Strength if…
- You have one problem area, like a basement, a kitchen or a 2-car garage.
- You’re storing a camper up to about 30 feet, a boat or a car for the season.
- You have two separate small areas. MouseMix.us suggests the 2-bag option for, say, a basement and a kitchen.
Choose the Farm Pack if…
- You’re protecting a barn, pole barn, large shed or grain storage area.
- You’re storing a tractor, combine or other implements over the winter.
- A single bag clearly won’t reach the whole space. The Regular Strength label itself points larger areas and campers to the Farm Pack.
Other options
- Farm Pack 2-Pack: two buckets for several buildings or a full season of equipment storage.
- Subscription: MouseMix.us offers three Regular Strength bags shipped about every 2½ months, as a reminder to replace old product.
- Critter Crumbs: an outdoor formula for gardens, lawns and landscaping.
Using either one
Both work the same way: divide the product into small bags, vent them, and spread them along walls and around the area. Follow the directions included with your product for amounts and spacing, and keep bags off finished wood floors, furniture and plastic.
