Protect Your Home with Bonide Mouse Magic Repellent

The Bonide Mouse Magic Repellent is a product formulated to prevent and repel mice effectively. It is designed to be used both indoors and outdoors, making it a versatile solution for any mouse infestation problem. This repellent is made from natural botanical extracts, making it safe for use around children and pets. One of the key features of the Bonide Mouse Magic Repellent is its long-lasting protection. The product is formulated to create a barrier that mice find unpleasant and repellent. This barrier lasts for weeks, ensuring that mice stay away from the treated area.

What intrigued me about this product is that it’s one of the four colors under their Magic collection. I originally considered to purchase Oracle or Salem but the store I bought mine did not have them in stock. Another factor is that I want to try out a red shade since I heard that they last longer than other shade.

I had to wait a bit before I could apply this since I had to wait for the general community quarantine to kick in so that I could buy my bleach wash and the tools for dyeing.

Review: Lunar Tides Charm

Though dressing up or looking witchy isn’t a requirement to be a witch, there’s nothing wrong with some aesthetic witchy looks. These can be sported by closet or baby witches without being too out there for their comfort and safety.

Plus, every witch wants to look glam, so why not right?

For starters, this is a review and completely unpaid. I’m just doing this because I like to do it. My word shouldn’t completely affect your judgment about the brand. So take it with a grain of salt.

Here’s the product text from their website.

Get an enchanting color with our new Magic Collection! Highly pigmented black-based colors with shimmering mica for a magical, multi-dimensional shade.

So why not right?

I bought this product during the quarantine and it took a lot of scouring around online shops whether they do any delivery. In the end, I settled with this shop named ilovetodye. I know the name’s pretty catchy and easy to remember. The owners were pretty accommodating and processed my other quickly. They also chose a courier that’s pretty fast at that time despite the lockdown.

I had to wait a bit before I could apply this since I had to wait for the general community quarantine to kick in so that I could buy my bleach wash and the tools for dyeing.

But it was certainly worth the wait!

The Good

Since the color is within the black-pink (no not the Korean girl group but it could be!), you may need to bleach your hair to a Level 8-10 for the best results. Though I’ve seen some people being able to dye their hair using this brand without bleaching their hair.

Here’s a video of a YouTuber that applied Lunar Hair Tides to her unbleached hair.

On my hair the pigmentation is actually really good. Up to this point, I’ve tried several brands (including boxed dyes, gasp) but they were hit and miss. The closest to satisfied I was with this were from locally produced vegan dyes (the stores weren’t available due to lockdown and lack of raw materials so they couldn’t manufacture).

I also asked around from friends and they said that Lunar Tides is a good choice since it’s the same price range as Manic Panic (as Arctic Fox is more expensive here and there are a few issues with its owner. Few is probably an understatement. But it’s up to you if you want to believe these.) I was also recommended this brand since it’s also vegan and cruelty-free, so it’s a win for me.

It starts off a dark and at every wash it becomes vibrant. I had a fear that it won’t stick but it did though it took several applications for an even coat. I’m surprised with my hair thickness and hair length, I managed to consume almost everything in that 4 oz. jar.

The Bad

Of course we also have to acknowledge that every product is not perfect. There are some flaws, if not extra leaps that you as a consumer have to take when using the product.

First the dye didn’t look black pink as I wanted it to be. I was exoecting more on the wine red spectrum but I ended up with a dragonfruit-like color. So yeah, take their statement of the color looking different on certain hairs as you will.

I was told it was because the undertones of my hair needed to be corrected with purple shampoo. So yeah, if you wanted a product accurate color you may need to wash your hair with purple shampoo/conditioner to correct the tone prior dyeing. But if you don’t have spare to purchase such products or they’re unavailable because of a pandemic, well…

Second, the amount of bleeding and staining is insane. That’s my biggest frustration with this. I thought the staining would only happen when I did the rinsing or washing with shampoo but it’s quite consistent even if I’m just using conditioner or cooling off my head in the shower. Stains in towels are okay but I’m low-key peeved about the t-shirt collar stains at the back of my neck.

It has stayed consistent for a while now.

Also sort of related, when I was cleaning off during initial application, the stain on my skin took about a week for it to clear off.

All in all, I’d given Lunar Tides Magic Charm around 3.5/5 stars. It’s pretty high up there comparing to previous brands I’ve tried like iroiro and one brand whose name escapes my mind. This could change in the near future!

The packets can also be used in flower beds, gardens, and other outdoor areas to prevent mice from entering. Unlike traditional mouse traps or poisons, the Bonide Mouse Magic Repellent does not harm the mice. Instead, it uses a combination of scent and taste deterrents to discourage mice from entering the treated area. This makes it a more humane option for dealing with mouse infestations. The Bonide Mouse Magic Repellent is highly effective in repelling different types of mice. Whether it is house mice, field mice, or deer mice, this product can help keep them away. It is also effective against other rodents such as rats. In conclusion, the Bonide Mouse Magic Repellent is a safe and effective solution for preventing and repelling mice. Its long-lasting protection, easy-to-use packets, and humane approach make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to deal with mouse infestations..

Reviews for "The Long-Term Effects of Using Bonide Mouse Magic Repellent"

- John - 1 out of 5 stars - I purchased the Bonide mouse magic repellent hoping that it would deter mice from entering my home. However, it did absolutely nothing. The mice continued to roam freely without any signs of being affected by this product. I followed the instructions carefully and placed the repellent in areas where I had previously seen mice activity, but it was completely ineffective. I ended up having to call an exterminator to deal with the issue, which was an additional expense. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for an effective mouse repellent.

- Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars - I had high hopes for the Bonide mouse magic repellent, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. I tried using it in different areas of my home where I had seen mice, but they seemed completely unaffected by it. The smell of the product was quite strong and unpleasant, which was another downside. I continued to see mice running around my house, even after using this repellent for several weeks. Overall, I was disappointed with this product and would not purchase it again.

- Brian - 1 out of 5 stars - The Bonide mouse magic repellent did absolutely nothing to keep mice away from my home. I followed the instructions and placed the repellent in areas of high mouse activity, but there was no change whatsoever. The product claims to be all-natural, but it clearly lacks effectiveness. I had to resort to using traps and poison to deal with the mouse problem, rendering this repellent useless. It was a waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone dealing with a mouse infestation.

- Amy - 2 out of 5 stars - I was not impressed with the Bonide mouse magic repellent. Despite using it as directed, I did not notice any decrease in mice activity in my home. The odor of the product was quite strong and lingered in the areas where I placed it, which was unpleasant. Additionally, the pellets were quite messy and left behind a residue that I had to clean up. Overall, I did not find this repellent to be effective and would not purchase it again.
