The Best of Johnnie Chuoke Vol 14

  • , by Trudy Chuoke Trudy Chuoke

It’s finally here! I have to tell you I have been sweating bullets waiting on this book. But the printer promised the end of November, and that’s what he did, and not a second earlier, right on time. But it was well worth the wait, he did a great job, and I am so proud of the final copy.

Now before you ask, yes, the price went up. The price is 18.99 and shipping is $4.00 for one book. If you are ordering more than one, shipping goes to $6, so you save a little. And the shipping is topped at $6. So, if you order 2 or 200 the shipping is $6. Each book will be signed by me and Max.

It’s been 4 years since we published a book so there are a lot of new products and projects that we talk about in each article every week added to this book. It’s a great reference book and the new index style makes looking for answers and products much easier. One of the new products is Morgan’s Repellent.

Morgan’s is an all-natural rodent repellent. I sell many traps, but I never recommend that. I would much rather discourage a rodent coming into my garage, than have to go and dispose of a trap. Morgan’s is a combination of garlic, peppermint, rosemary, clove, cinnamon and cedarwood oils infused into pumice. It comes in a container, and I suggest leaving the pumice in the container and drilling holes in the top of the lid leaving the product inside, as opposed to just broadcasting the infused pumice. All those natural oils will repel rodents in a 20ft. x 20ft. area for 90 days. In the book I labeled Morgan’s my #1 product and suggestion. I bet you wonder why.

We could never sell bird seed at the store. We never had any problems with rodents in my store, until I would try and bring in bird seed. And then, well it was obvious, there was a problem. I would lose product, and the mice would make such a mess. I was at a Do It Best show about 3 years ago. I went to my favorite area that consists of new products. Usually, you will meet the owners and originators, and they are so happy to share their journey with their products, it’s their baby. Ever been around new parents? They have you looking a ton of pictures of that new baby. And that’s the way it is with new products, the inventors will share so much. Clyde Morgan shared this eye-opening video of a warehouse overrun with rodents. It was a feed store. And this owner could not get a get the rodent damage under control. Then Morgan’s Repellent was put into place and over the next 7 days I watched a time lapsed video of the rodent activity as it slowed daily until there was none. I knew this was my answer to the rodent activity in my store.

When placing Morgan’s Repellent in your home. You want to first drill those holes in the lid. And then place Morgan’s Repellent up off the floor. If you can tell where they are coming in, don’t place it there. You don’t want to block their exit strategy. Place it about 12ft away. When they come in, they will smell Morgan’s, and they will immediately leave the area. This repellent is good for attics, garages, boat houses, well houses, chicken coops, green houses, campers, sheds and also in commercial areas. Don’t let rodents do damage to your home. I had $1500 of damage done to my car before I realized there was a problem. If you keep feed in your garage, you have mice activity…. repel them and keep them away. Don’t deal with disgusting traps. Do the job clean with Morgan’s Repellent.

Morgan’s Repellent is a family-owned business. They have an excellent reputation. Your cost of treating your home is under $18 for 90 days. This repellent comes in three scents, strong garlic (good for less trafficked areas), peppermint and cinnamon. Morgan’s Repellent is on the website... www.happyhandyman.com, and in the new book. Go out to the website and order your new book today to get it in plenty of time for Christmas. They make great presents for new homeowners, your Do It Yourself friends, and if you are a real estate agent they make great new home gifts.
