I've never had any luck with the plug ins..always use the sprays. They work in a more concentrated area instead of trying to do the whole house/room. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures

Oh, we always close the door. Same with the microwave. We close doors on toaster ovens and microwaves to protect the food that we've hidden from the cats. My mother was punished this morning for not getting up and cleaning litterboxes quickly enough. She awoke to the smell of poop.
