Do you open the bags? Is the stuff inside messy?

I don't open the bags.... the aroma seems to be plenty potent when bags are still closed, and the effect probably lasts longer as well.

They are similar to large "Tea" Bags. You put the bags UNOPENED in spaces that might be where mice might pass through. It really seems to keep mice away. I used them in my motorhome and no mice. The smell is "woodsy" but very pleasant!

The bag is a sealed unit -you just unwrap the outer plastic which keeps the stuff fresh until you need it . No mess at all !

No I did not open the bags, from what I gather it did not appear to be necessary. Smell last a long time, which is very good.

If I remember correctly there is a thin plastic seal over each packet. That you take off but you do not open the cloth bag or cover over the contents themselves. Good luck. I found the produxt did not work for us.

There is no need to open the bag. The material is like that of a tea bag so the odor seeps out. We use them in our RV every winter. No mice and it smells nice. After using it for the winter season, we then take them and put them in the underneath storage of our RV during the summer "just in case"! Also put a couple this year in a storage unit our daughter rented - we'll see how that works!

Yes, you load it up through the top, and pull them out through the bottom! Works well, and it holds a good amount, but no so many that you feel overrun by plastic bags!

I have not experienced that problem. I've had this brand about 5X now and all bags were fine.

There isn't an inside bin or anything like that, so you really do need to use it with bags. The inside of the container has lots of ridges so it doesn't lend to bagless use anyway.

I did this before when I got the bags, this time I ordered it they came in larger jars. If you do get the bags instead, just store them in a ziplock bag after you open them. I did this and they did not go bad.

You don't have to open the bags. This product didn't work for me mice just ate everything I didn't even see one dead mouse, for me after using this product the mouse problems got worse. I ordered snap e mouse trap that was the best decision I made so far no more mouse. Good luck

Yes, we do. We rinse them out and put them in with the regular plastic bag bin. Ie. plastic bags form WalMart, Kmart, etc.

No. These bags are very limp in fact. I do use them, but I find I go back to the the bags that have the plastic coating on the outside. These, in a word, are flimsy. They come with a rubber removable bottom liner, but which gives some shape when in, but the bag material is very limp.

I feel similarly GMA, and I wash ziplock bags all the time and reuse with no problem I turn the bag inside out to wash it and stand em up to let them dry. Perfect.

No not at all. I have always had a bag in one and find this bagless easier to empty and not as messy. Very easy to empty.

You put in the cartridge, tie a knot end of open bag, close the top. Very easy. No touching dirty mess. It's not multiple bags, it's a continuos long bag you start by pulling over cartridge, tie knot at opening. When bag gets full, open top. Cut using built in razor . Tie knot in bag to be tossed and tie knot into new start bag. Close top. That easy.

No problems with the trash bags. You will want to clean off the bottom of the crusher part every so often but this is really easy to do.

The bags have no air in them. Just open it and enjoy. The powder will be soft.

Must one use the "vacuum bags" inside the fabric bag or can you use it "as is?"

I dump as much of the solid out that I can by turning the bag inside out. Then, I rinse out the bag while it's inside out and I rub the bag together between my two hands, once it seems clean, I flip it and do a final rinse. It couldn't be simpler to clean, and I'm a guy!

Absolutely! I've changed the contents many times. They're made of much thicker material than a food storage type baggie. You open the bag, put in your items, seal it, in the middle of the bag there is a plastic cap you open, you attach a vacuum hose and suck out all of the air. Some have said their bags leak, there is a slider to close it, but I always manually press my hand along, pressing the edges together to make sure it's sealed tight. I haven't had one let go yet.
