The Mint-X Rodent Repellent Trash Bag is EPA approved and patented trash bag that will repel rats and rodents yet remain perfectly safe for human handling. Mint-X Trash Bags are proven effective at repelling rodents because an all natural, mint scented fragrance is added to the plastic during the manufacturing (extrusion) process. Residential homes: use Mint-X to prevent rodents from tearing into trash bags as they are stored outside for sanitation pick up. Residential apartment buildings: Mint-X rodent repellent trash bags will eliminate rats and other pests from basements, curbsides and alleys of apartment buildings keeping tenants confident in management’s ability to maintain a clean building. Food service providers/restaurants: any company engaged in food processing and preparation can benefit from making sure that rats and other vermin will not penetrate the trash bags while waiting for sanitation pick up. Parks and recreational facilities: Mint-X trash bags can help keep the public parks beautiful by preventing rats and other pests from spreading garbage and disease where people are sitting, playing and eating. Schools, universities, prisons and corporations: any large complex that serves hundreds of thousands of meals per day must contain their garbage to prevent exposure to rats, rodents, raccoons and other pests that penetrate trash bags being stored. Cities and Municipalities: Housing authorities can now proactively take steps to eliminate the rat sighting in and around their garbage area. The mint scent is added during the manufacturing process so the scent becomes part of the plastic and will not rub off on your hands or clothes. The EPA has classified the Mint-X Trash Bag as a “Minimum Risk Pesticide” as well as a “Biopesticide”. This means that there are no health risks to humans, animals or the environment. The bag is 100 percent safe to handle just like a regular trash bag. Measures 47″ height by 43″ length.
