Frequently Asked Questions

Is Stay Away® Spider Safe for Children, Cats, and Dogs?

Stay Away® Spiders is safe to use around children and pets when used as directed. The pouches do not contain harmful chemicals. Placing our pouches in a Pouch Pod will further protect them from curious kids and pets.

How Does Stay Away® Spider Work?

Spiders prefer to live in areas free of scents and vibrations so they can easily detect prey. The botanical ingredients in the pouches create a scent that works to deter spiders from the area and keep them from returning (until the scent diminishes and the product needs to be replaced). The essential oil scents also work to deter other insects from the area that spiders typically feed upon.

What is a Botanical Spider Deterrent?

While many spider repellents and deterrents are made with harmful chemical ingredients, Stay Away® Spider is a botanical spider deterrent that’s made with plant-based ingredients and provides a no-kill alternative. The ingredients are rosemary oil, lemongrass oil, citronella oil, corn cobs, almond oil, and sunflower oil. The pouches are USDA Bio-preferred with 100% bio-based content.

How Does Stay Away® Ants & Cockroaches Work?

When placed in areas where these pests may be present, Stay Away® Ants & Cockroaches emits a scent that is pleasant to people – like peppermint essential oils and more – but deters ants, cockroaches, and various other crawling insects in the treated areas. These pouches use the scent of plant-derived essential oils to affect the senses of these pests which then causes them to leave the area and prevents them from returning.

What Are Natural Ways to Get Rid of Cockroaches and Ants?

If you’re dealing with a current ant or cockroach problem, the first step to getting rid of them is to keep a clean house. Food, crumbs, moisture, and spills are the main attractants that bring pests into your home. Other natural ways to deter ants and cockroaches include sealing up entry points that they can get through, fixing drips and leaks right away, and storing foods (even pet foods) in airtight containers. To get rid of these pests and deter them from returning, place Stay Away Ant & Cockroach pouches in areas you’ve noticed pest activity.

How Do You Get Rid of Ants and Cockroaches Without Chemicals?

Many ant and roach repellents available on the market make use of harsh chemicals to kill or repel these pests. For homeowners who would rather keep these chemicals out of their home and away from their family, Stay Away® Ants & Cockroaches is a botanical deterrent option that’s lab-proven to be effective against these crawling insects. The pouches are made with essential oils and other plant-based ingredients, no harsh chemicals necessary.

Is Stay Away® Botanical Mouse Repellent Safe Around Children and Dogs?

Stay Away® Rodent pouches are safe to use around children and pets when used as directed. The pouches do not contain harmful chemicals. Placing our pouches in a Pouch Pod will further protect them from curious kids and pets.

How Does Stay Away® Rodent Repellent Work?

Stay Away® Rodent pouches are made with a mix of balsam fir oil, fragrance oil, and plant fibers that create a smell that’s offensive to rodents, but not to humans. These pests have poor eyesight and a very strong sense of smell. Rodents hate smells that overwhelm their noses because they use their sense of smell to detect danger. Stay Away® pouches keep the strong scent locked in for 30+ days which causes mice to leave areas where pouches are placed.

How Do You Get Rid of Mice Without Using Poison?

Many of the mouse repellent options available for purchase make use of harsh chemicals and poisons to kill the critters. EarthKind’s Stay Away Rodent and Fresh Cab rodent repellents both use a mix of essential oils and other botanical ingredients to create pouches that are lab-proven to be effective at getting rid of mice and keeping them out of the area. Both EarthKind products contain no harmful chemical ingredients.

Where Can I Purchase Fresh Cab?

You can purchase Fresh Cab Rodent Repellent online here or in-store. EarthKind products are found in many retail stores across the US.

How Long Do Fresh Cab Pouches Last?

Fresh Cab pouches can last up to 90 days, but the length of time they last depends on the environment they are used in as well as the reason they are being used. In an area with a lot of airflow or cooler temperatures, the scent may diminish sooner. The scent will last longer in a space that’s totally enclosed such as a pantry. If you’re dealing with a current infestation, you’ll want to replace the pouches in 30 days to keep the scent in the area strong. If you’re using the pouches for prevention, they will not need to be replaced as quickly. The rule of thumb is to replace the pouch when the scent diminishes.

What is Fresh Cab® Rodent Repellent Made Of?

EarthKind’s Fresh Cab pouches are made in the USA with plant-based ingredients including balsam fir oil, fragrance oil, and plant fibers. The essential oils work together to create a scent that will overwhelm a rodent’s nose and cause them to leave the area.

What do the instructions mean by “use in non-living areas”?

Rodents tend to infest areas adjacent to the living areas of a home or building. People, and the common living areas they occupy, are often avoided by rodents. We recommend using the pouches in overlooked areas like behind appliances, attics, basements, crawlspaces, closets, garages, etc…

For example, if you are seeing signs of mice in the kitchen, consider placing pouches behind the stove, the fridge, and in storage spaces rather than directly on the kitchen table.

Although scent-based repellents aren’t made with harmful chemicals, some people may find the aroma overwhelming. Instead of placing the pouches where you spend the most time, use them in the places where rodents are likely to live, feed or nest.

How and why should the product be disposed of after use?

As indicated on the package, pouches may be disposed of in a regular trash receptacle. Prompt disposal is important because rodents may view the natural plant fibers contained in the pouch as a food source after the balsam fir scent has dissipated.

What is the difference between Fresh Cab® and Stay Away® Rodent?

Fresh Cab was invented to repel mice from truck and tractor cabs, preventing expensive rodent damage to high-value property and equipment. Stay Away Rodent is intended for use in and around the home, making rodents ‘stay away’ from the spaces where we live, work, learn and play. Both products have the same active ingredient (balsam fir oil) and may be used interchangeably.
