Repelling mice with Morgan's

It’s a new month and so we are going to start a new project. The January project was using White Ring Remover to erase hazy stains off of wood furniture. That was an easy project so this month we are going to take it up just a notch. By the time you have read this article for the year, you are going to be so smart that you can write this article.
Do you keep dog food, cat food, bird seed or grass seed in the garage or shed? Do you ever see rodent activity? Or do you hear little scurrying noises in the attic where there shouldn’t be? So, what is your go to solution? If it’s poison, can I give you another safer more economical option? Morgan’s Repellent is an easy-to-use repellent that is self-contained and dependable. I know this because we use it at our store.
Morgan’s Repellent is a family-owned business that makes this non-poisonous product that lasts longer than other repellents. Formulated with six all natural ingredients that include cedar oil, peppermint oil, clove oil, garlic oil, cinnamon oil and rosemary oil. These oils all together make an excellent repellent. And since Morgan’s is more potent than other repellents, it will treat larger areas and last longer. Morgan’s is considered an industrial grade product so it can be used in homes, sheds, boats houses, warehouses and food processing areas.
Morgan’s is easy to use. It comes in a 2.5 oz container with a screw on lid. I like to tell my customers to remove the lid and drill 6 - ¼ inch holes in the lid. Then screw the lid back on and place the repellent on a box about 48 inches off the ground. Place the box about 2 feet away from the garage door or other entry location. You want to make sure that you have air flow in the room so that the repellent reaches all areas of the room.
Since Morgan’s is very potent it will last 90 days, costing you about 18 cents a day. And when the 90 days is up, just pick up the container and throw it away. It’s safer because it’s made from pumice stones and animals are not attracted to the product.
Now to the email….
Question: I have light colored granite. I put a metal soap dish on the countertop and after a while it left rust stains on the granite. I have tried several products, but nothing is budging the stain. Do you have a suggestion?
Answer: Yes, use Stonetech Deep Klenz. It is safe on granite and all natural stone products. It’s one of the best deep cleaners for tile and grout. Just scrub with a soft bristle brush and rinse with clear water.
Question: I have a black glass stove top, and it has stains from cooking that I have a hard time removing. What would you recommend to clean the glass top?
Answer: My go to for cleaning the cook top is Cerama Brite. I am not the best cook; in other words, I can make a mess – Cerama Brite has never met a stain that it couldn’t remove.
Question: I have a new glass shower door. I want to treat it so that it never clouds up with hard water stains. What product do you suggest?
Answer: I don’t know of any one product that would keep the door clean. However, I have found a couple of products that work well and can keep the door looking nice and clean for up to a year. Since your door is free of stains right now, you don’t have to clean it. But if you are reading this article and your door is hazy – use Delete Germ to remove all stains. Put a stream on the door and immediately start cleaning, removing all hard water stains. Use a Scotch Brite green scrubby sponge, it works best at powering through the hard water. Once the door is clean and dry, apply Invisible Shield Glass Protectant in a circular motion over the whole door. Let it dry. It smells like rubbing alcohol. Then put on a second coat. Let dry. Now your door is protected against staining. When you clean your shower, use Invisible Shield Glass Cleaner. This product will reinforce the Glass Protectant and give you almost a year of clean glass.
