Natural pest control can quickly and safely remove rats and mice from your home. Without poison or traps, you can hunt rats with unpleasant smells and substances. Here’s the method.

Mice and rats disappear thanks to natural repellents

1. Peppermint oil

Why it works: Rats and mice have a keen sense of smell and find peppermint oil offensive. It hinders navigation and communication, driving them apart.
Use:

Soak cotton balls in pure peppermint oil.
Place cotton balls near access points, walls, and corners where rodents have been seen.
Replace the cotton balls every few days or when they lose their scent.
The pungent aroma of peppermint oil can deter rats and mice within minutes.
2. Onions

Why it works: Rats and mice dislike the pungent smell of onions. The sulfur components in onions repel these insects.
Use:

Place onion slices in places where rats and mice might enter or hide.
Replace the onion slices every few days when they dry out and lose their effectiveness.
Rats and mice will immediately repel due to the strong onion smell.

Use:

Sprinkle cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes in areas where rats and mice invade or roam.
Check for cracks, gaps, and entrances.
