Test result preview
The RepellShield MausEx mouse repellent spray offers an effective way of keeping rodents such as mice and rats out of living and garden areas. With an innovative formula based on peppermint oil and geraniol, it provides a natural and environmentally friendly defence. The simple application and quick effect within one to two weeks make it a practical helper for everyday life. The pet safety and production in Germany with sustainable ingredients are particularly positive. However, a larger packaging size would be desirable, as some customers find the quantity too small.
Advantages
- Natural active ingredients without chemicals
- Simple application with visible results
- Pet friendly
- Made in Germany, cruelty-free
Disadvantages
- Limited quantity, therefore frequent repurchases necessary

Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 3.4 stars. The spray is often criticised for being too expensive for the small quantity, which some users see as a waste of money. On the other hand, the ease of use, which makes the product easier to use, is emphasised positively.
In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the handling and natural defence effect of the spray meet customer requirements. However, the criticism of the small quantity is understandable, as consumption is relatively high with regular use.
Prices of up to €16.95 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €8.99 . The RepellShield MausEx mouse repellent spray is therefore currently in the mid-price segment with a price of €12.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
