DETOUR® Rat Repellent: Frequently Asked Questions
How does DETOUR® repel rats and mice without toxic chemicals?
DETOUR® uses pure, food-grade capsaicin (the active compound in hot peppers). When rodents touch or attempt to chew treated surfaces, the capsaicin activates their sensory nerve endings, creating a intense heating sensation. This trains rodents to permanently avoid the treated area without using lethal poisons or hazardous chemicals.
Is DETOUR® safe to use around children and pets?
Yes. DETOUR® is non-toxic, non-lethal, and EPA-registered (#85002-1). While the active capsaicin causes temporary sensory discomfort if touched, it leaves no toxic residues, making it far safer than conventional chemical baits and rodenticides.
Can DETOUR® Wire Protection Gel harm my car's electrical wiring?
No. DETOUR® Wire Protection Gel is formulated specifically for automotive wiring, engine components, and mechanical systems. It will not corrode plastic shielding, rubber hoses, or electrical connections.
How long does an application of DETOUR® remain effective?
When applied indoors or in protected outdoor areas (such as engine bays, attics, or wall voids), DETOUR® remains active for up to 12 months or longer, provided it is not washed away by direct heavy weather exposure.
