10 natural tips to get rid of mice and rats in 1 minute — without poison or traps

  1. Peppermint essential oil

Mix  10 drops in 250 ml of water  and spray near doors, windows, and in dark corners.  Mice hate this very strong smell.

  1. Fresh garlic

Crush a few cloves and place them in strategic locations.  Their powerful odor acts as an immediate repellent.

  1. Onions

Place  half an onion  under the sink or in the garage.  Replace it daily  to maintain its effectiveness.

  1. Cayenne pepper

Sprinkle it  along the baseboards or under the furniture :  its very pungent scent immediately repels rodents.

  1. Cloves

Used in  sachets  or as  essential oil placed on cotton , they diffuse a  spicy heat unbearable  for rats and mice.

  1. Diluted ammonia

Place a small bowl of diluted ammonia  in at-risk areas.  Its odor is reminiscent of a predator, which repels rodents.

  1. White vinegar

Spray it  undiluted in sensitive areas:  its acidic odor immediately deters pests from settling in.

  1. Bay leaves

Place them in your cupboards and pantry:  they release natural aromatic compounds that keep intruders away.

  1. Scented steel wool

Plug the holes with  steel wool soaked in peppermint or clove essential oil : this physically and olfactorily blocks their passage.

  1. Ultrasound combined with natural fragrances

An  ultrasonic electronic repellent , combined with a few drops of essential oil ,  strengthens protection and acts over time .
