If you have a pet, put the baking soda in a container with a hole in it, so they can’t get to it.
Bars of soap
Producing the same effect as peppermint, scented soaps help to keep
rodents away and act as a perfect repellent. Simply place them around doors, windows and all possible openings.
Other tips
– Clean up your yards and gardens by removing piles of wood and old tires which can be real nests for rodents.
– If you have animals like rabbits, chickens or horses,
Put them in a rodent-proof enclosure and clean their shelters regularly.
– Don’t leave food lying around.
– Raise trash cans off the ground more than 30 centimeters.
– Grow plants in your gardens that repel rodents, such as crown imperial, eucalyptus or peppermint.
– Having a cat at home is a great help in getting rid of rodents,
since they are real predators who often find pleasure in exterminating them to play with them, without actually eating them.
However, a risk of poisoning the cat can quickly arise if the mouse has ingested a toxic product.
