Who has never screamed at a mouse passing by, or despaired of chase her?
The unexpected arrival of rodents at home has never pleased anyone.
There are many ways to get rid of them, but not always
effective, and often expensive.
No need to spend your money on traps of all kinds, ultrasonic devices, toxic products or rat control.
Mice are very sensitive to smells! It is with their sense of smell that they will identify the places that attract or repel them.
Using odors they don't like makes for an excellent repellent.
Want to repel mice naturally?
For this, I give you 3 natural tips tested and approved by victims of invasion.
You will finally be able to get rid of these rodents!
By far the most infallible of all, after the cat itself.
A small amount is enough, sprinkled along the walls of the room where your mouse often passes.
And for even more success, try to take the most fragrant possible.
The most common supermarket litters like the Catsan will be perfect.
If you don't have a cat, ask your neighbors or friends.
Surely you know someone who owns a feline and can give you a few grams of litter or you can find some here.
If you have them in your kitchen, place them where you know or think the mouse will pass. The smell will repel her right away!
Tip :your mint will smell even more if you take the time to crush it.
Ditto, if you have some on hand, put some along the walls.
You can also put some in cupboards where you suspect the mice are using.
If you don't have one as it is, know that many dishwashing, cleaning and beauty products today are eucalyptus-based.
If you look carefully, you may be able to find some at home.
Take a few cotton balls and soak them in the product in question.
Make sure it is fragrant enough.
Then place them in strategic places for a few days.
Between foods that attract it and places to hide, the mouse has no shortage of excuses to come and colonize you.
However, two or three simple things will allow you to avoid them:
1. Close and clean everything :packets of rice, pasta, Tupperware, garbage cans...
Even the bag of croquettes for your cat or dog! All kinds of food can attract a mouse. And it's even more true if they are accessible and fragrant.
So don't leave anything lying around or open...
Otherwise it will sneak inside the packages and have a good feast. Then she will leave neither seen nor known.
2. Fill your cracks :a mouse can sneak into a tiny space!
It is therefore important to seal any cracks and holes in the walls...
Even if they are very small!
It will be one less entry for her.
Rat poisons, chemical repellents and traps cost between 5 and 15 € each (and we often buy two kinds).
And for extermination, you have to count around 60 €.
And even if you need to buy mint or sage, nothing prevents you from using the surplus for cooking.
This solution will therefore cost you less than 1 € in mint or sage (because no one will charge you 3 g of litter).
Youwill save between 9 and 59€ by following our advice.
As a bonus, you save yourself the trouble of picking up a dead mouse or the guilt of killing one. And all of that naturally!
