Electronic Device For Protecting Lawn Equipment Stored In Garage From Rodents And Pests

Question

Question:

I’ve had mice chew the pull cord and air filter on my Toro snowblower. Would a plug-in MB34FR in the garage keep them away, or should I mount a Classic MB44FR on the machine itself?

Expert Reply:

Nancy, the plug-in # MB34FR will discourage rodents from hanging out in the garage overall. But if you want to specifically guard the snowblower, the Classic # MB44FR wired to its 12v battery is more direct protection. Many folks do both - one plug-in for the space, one Classic on key equipment.

Do you keep other power tools in the same garage?
