To follow up on the new odor absorber:
I held off on cleaning the mouse house last night to see how it worked at
the peak of the smell. I placed the mesh bag of volcanic minerals on top
of
the house and it removed any and all odor 100%, far far better than any
gel
product. As the odors go up, the bag of minerals snatch them before they
escape in to the air. The room went from having a very noticible smell
(even
with using the gel products) to NONE!
This is by far the best product I have ever used. I would reccomend this
to
anyone who is looking to eliminate the smell of their little rodents. My
room mates dislike the smell of my mice a great deal,so for an experiment
I
brought them in the room and asked how bad the smell was (last night at
the
peak smellyness), and they could not smell anything.
A++++!!!!!!!
