Tired of unwanted mice that infiltrate your home? Forget about chemicals and try these natural and effective methods to keep them away. These 7 simple tricks use ingredients and products that you probably already have at home, including a surprising combination: matches and tomatoes.
1. Tip matches and tomatoes
Mice are very sensitive to strong and pungent odours. Here's a classic trick:
Place a few match heads (the sulfur end) inside a recessed tomato.
Place the tomato near the entry points or places where you have seen mice.
Why it works:
The sulphur of matches combined with the acidity and fragrance of the tomato creates an odor that naturally repels mice without harming them.
2. Spray with peppermint oil
Mice hate the strong smell of peppermint.
Mix 10 to 15 drops of peppermint essential oil with water in a spray bottle.
Spray along walls, rooms and entry points.
3. 3. Vinegar and water solution
