Dealing with mice and rats in your home can be a challenging and stressful experience. These pests not only cause damage but are also carriers of harmful bacteria and viruses. To prevent them from taking over your space, here are 12 smart and effective ways to eliminate these unwelcome guests:
1. Baking Soda Method:
Sprinkle baking soda in areas frequented by mice or rats, ensuring it’s out of reach of pets. Use containers with narrow openings to target the pests while keeping pets safe.
2. Use of Predator Scents:
Apply predator scents available from pet stores around your home’s perimeter. These can include scent pellets, urine, or feces to deter rodents.
3. Snap Traps:
Set snap traps along walls and potential entry points, baiting them with appealing food like chocolate, peanut butter, cheese, or nesting materials like feathers or cotton.
4. Peppermint Oil:
Soak cotton balls in peppermint oil and place them in areas prone to rodent activity. Refresh the oil every few days and keep it out of reach of pets.
