I first came across this product on Facebook. The advertisement was very persuasive. They showed pictures of mice, field mice, moles and other small pests, and claimed that they would come out of their holes because they couldn't stand the pungent smell of the repellent.

As someone who has dealt with stubborn rodents in basements and storage rooms, I decided to give this product a try. Plot twist alert; I was completely disappointed.

This is my candid review of Sofyre rat repellent, priced at $43 on Sofyre.com and Amazon.com.

About Sofyre Rat Repellent

Sofyre rat repellent is contained in small bags. It is said to repel rats and other rodents with natural oils. The idea is simple. You place the bag in areas where you notice rat activity, such as the kitchen, garage, attic, basement, or any nearby area that rats might enter.

According to Sofyre, these bags contain a mixture of various natural oils, including peppermint oil, cinnamon oil, cedar oil, and a proprietary essential oil blend. Castor oil is also used as a carrier to help the scent last longer. Rabbits and rodents

The company stated that these bags can last for up to 90 days and that the odor forms a barrier that rodents dislike. Sofyre.com also claims that many customers notice a reduction in mouse activity within a few days. However, the company also stated that the effect may vary and that the product cannot guarantee to eradicate pests.

The main reason why I chose the Sofyre rodenticide is that it is advertised as a completely natural product. 

When there are children at home, the thought of putting poison in the house makes me uncomfortable personally. I prefer the idea of placing a few bags in the areas where mice are active, relying on the natural smell to work.

Unfortunately, this didn't work. Even when the bags were placed in the areas where the mice frequently went, it was still the same. What I saw were the pictures of mice on the packaging, and one of the bags was bitten open. The contents were scattered all over the place, while the second bag was still there, leaving more evidence that the mice had been nearby.

For me, this is not that the product can solve the problem, but rather a situation where it takes longer to take effect. I can't see any reason why the mice would be driven away by it at all.

To be honest, when the mice were able to comfortably bite through the packages and leave droppings around the other packages, I found it hard to believe that this product could create the strong barrier shown in the advertisement.

When I shopped at sofyre.com, I thought I was just making a one-time purchase. But the supply kept coming in, and my card was constantly being debited.

This is where my experience with Sofyre went from disappointment to utter frustration.

I tried to contact the customer service, but it was difficult to get help. None of the phone numbers I tried were able to get me through to someone who could solve the problem. The customer service was almost invisible when I needed it.

After doing some careful research on the company, I discovered that Sofyre.com does have a subscription policy. According to its policy, unless it is cancelled, the subscription will automatically renew once, otherwise it will be renewed every 30 days. The company stated that customers need to cancel at least three days before the next billing date to avoid being charged again.

The problem is that I'm not the only one who says they thought they were making a one-time purchase.

I found that other customers also complained that they received another batch of goods and another charge, thinking it was just one order. Some complained they didn't realize they were registered for regular delivery, while others said it was difficult to cancel or seek help.

This is a big problem for me.

A company can sell products, but they may not be suitable for everyone. This can happen. But customers should clearly understand whether they are making a one-time purchase or subscribing for regular delivery.

Is Sofyre rat repellent really effective?

Based on my experience, I do not recommend Sofyre's rat repellent.

This product has no effect on me. There are no signs that the rats have been repelled. But the bigger problem is the continuous shipping and charges after purchase, as well as the difficulties I encountered when seeking help.

I cannot say that everyone who bought it will have the same experience, nor can I label all the purchases made by the company as scams without evidence.

But I do believe there are sufficient concerns, and I suggest readers be extremely cautious.

The advertisement made me believe that I bought a product that could repel rats. What I received was a product that could neither prevent them from approaching my house, nor stop them from biting through the packaging, nor prevent them from leaving droppings beside the packaging.

Later, I also had to face even more frustrating problems - repeated shipments and continuous consumption.
