Round's Hardware

Rodent Control when Round's is Gone.

Round's is closing forever in March. Please continue to shop us is February. Take advantage of our Retirement Sale. Yes, Bill and Bruce will starve to death selling off an assortment of merchandise built over the past 65 years, but who cares when the prices start low and get lower?

We still have a few PestPlug kits. PestPlug is a steel wool product made from stainless steel. You can jamb this into small openings to seal your home. It will last forever. Regular steel wool will rust quickly and turn to red dust. Copper or bronze wool will also work great and last for years, but these can be very pricy.

Yes. Another rumor sounds as though it must be true. Rats, mice, and we think rabbits will chew on car wiring. Squirrels probably do as well, but we don't hear squirrel automative stories. Usually we hear distraut individuals tell tales of enormous repair bill's for rodent damage in cars. It's said that car wiring insulation has a soybean component. This is not validated so far as I can see, but I'm retiring and I'm no longer motivated to seek out remedies to common problems.

Essential oils may help as might aerosol rodent repellent products. Some of these contain egg products and nasty smelling ingredients. It could not hurt to spray peppermint under the hood.

Cars and RV's left in winter storage are particularly vulnerable. The Bonide mouse and rat repellents would be a good investment. Put In car air ducts, engine compartments, etc.

There is one hardware store chain that requires each manager to keep a cat in the store. Good idea.
