5. Plant Peppermint:

Grow peppermint plants around your home as a natural deterrent.

6. Cat Litter:

Place used cat litter near potential nesting sites outside. The scent of cat urine acts as a natural predator deterrent.

Fill any holes or entry points with materials like plaster of Paris, cement, steel wool, or copper mesh.

8. Ground Clove Repellent:

Use ground cloves near entry points, refreshing them every couple of days to maintain their effectiveness.

When dealing with a deceased rodent, always wear gloves. Dispose of the body in double-sealed bags and place it in an outdoor trash bin.

Remember, consistent and varied approaches are key to effective rodent control.
