Remembering an island on Basswood we called Mouse Island. Is there a repellent that would work to use on tents and bags? (And not attract bears?)

This?

Or this? Rodent Defense It might stink too much.

Your first suggestion wouldn't have had a chance. (Cute though)
Anyone with experience on the second?

Put your food in a Tidy Cats box. My suggestion.

I know for storage of tents we used to use moth balls at the Boy Scout camp I worked at. They work great to keep the mice away although I'm not sure about if they would attract bears though.

Mouse repellant is like bear mace , but in much smaller cans ! Hard to use when they charge you. Make sure you are up wind.

dryer softener sheets? I use those in the camper for winter storage.
