Does anyone use this (pink stuff)? I can get it from my work for $3 a gallon. Was wondering if it has a smell to it. I don't detect any smell but that doesn't mean a yote or cat won't.

They make ethanol free rv antifreeze. I think it’s just propylene glycol with dye.

Yeah I just went in the warehouse and looked at the label... this "contains ethyl alcohol." So I'm thinking it's a no-go.

The RV stuff that I checked out had “fragrance” listed as in the chemical components. You know for when you want your rv plumbing to smell good.

I think that was what I used the last year, thats been aleast 10 yrs, I don't remember it smelling and i caught a bunch, all I was concerned with it wasnt poison. Now this will bloiw your mind but I used pine spray aerosol and also cedar
that I boiled my self, this was in a 40 acre cedar patch, sprayed over trap and area. When things work, they work when they wise up I go with clean blind trail set or quit. I have had them sit 100 yds from me and bark at me. Almost shot one doing that one nite and an owl bout took my head off.
I knew a guy that had an owl try to pull his eye out, got infected bad.

I'd buy propylene glycol instead.

I couldn't find the RV antifreeze this year that only contained glycol. I think the stuff I used to use was yellow. No smell and worked fine. It was cheap enough I wasn't stingy with it. Its definitely diluted pretty heavy. Pure glycol is more of a thicker or thin syrup consistency...but is $25 or so a gallon at tractor supply. I used that this year pure. Instill wet the bed pretty good. My thinking is when it rains the antifreeze becomes diluted and not as potent. So if using diluted I'd use a healthy bit or it may not last long.

When using glycol out of the bottle straight, make sure to dilute it a lot, 25% glycol to 75% water. That has worked for me... you do what you feel is right.
