Dad bought one on the guys suggestion and placed it in our other half of basement...doesn't do a dang thing as chipmunks and mice are always seen running around ...even right past the dang repeller. kyle from maine HTML +More --_000_28113A0489833849A1CF9EC16F42154359D668DA25GVW1097EXBame_----==============37837635728704292=
