Are you tired of spending on inefficient and harmful poisons? What if the solution to your rat problems is already in your kitchen? Inexpensive, simple to use and 100% natural, onions may well become your best ally against these invasive rodents. Curious about why and how to use them? Here’s everything you need to know to say goodbye to rats in a natural way.
Why are onions formidable against rats?
The rats, although intelligent and resistant, do not tolerate the pungent smell of onions. Their powerful aroma, due to the sulfur compounds they contain, acts as a natural repellent. But that’s not all: if they ingest, onions can also be toxic to them.
Unlike chemicals, onions do not expose your home to hazardous substances. This natural method is not only effective, but also environmentally friendly and healthy.
How to use onions to keep rats away
Equipment required:
Fresh onions (white or red, depending on your preference)
A sharp knife or chopper
Simple steps to follow:
Prepare your onions: Cut them into small pieces to release their powerful flavour.
Dispose them strategically: place the pieces in the places where you have observed a rat activity (under the furniture, near the cracks or entry points).
Renew regularly: replace the pieces every two or three days to maintain their effectiveness.
Maximize the effectiveness with these tricks
Block the entry points: inspect your home to spot openings that rats might use. Bouch them with steel wool or caulking.
Eliminate sources of attraction: keep your food in hermetically sealed containers and be careful not to leave crumbs or garbage.
Protect your pets: watch out, onions are toxic to cats and dogs. Put them out of their reach.
