Use :
Spray liberally around doors, windows, cracks, and any suspicious areas. Repeat weekly or after a thorough cleaning.
The smell is strong for us… but unpleasant for a mouse !
Peppermint: the fresh ally that keeps rodents away
Another gentle yet effective tip: Soak cotton balls in peppermint essential oil and place them in strategic locations. The fresh scent effectively repels the animals. Change the cotton balls every two weeks to maintain their effectiveness.
Appeal to natural enemies
If you have a cat at home, you already have an excellent natural repellent ! Mice flee from its scent. And even if you don’t have a cat, you can attract birds of prey to your garden ( by installing suitable nesting boxes ) to regulate their presence around your home.
For the pacifists: humane traps
If, despite all these precautions, a mouse manages to enter your home, opt for traps that allow you to catch it alive. Place some peanut butter or seeds inside and then release the mouse some distance away ( at least 500 meters from your house ). Don’t forget to seal the entrance afterward!
A healthy home, a peaceful mind
With these simple, natural measures, you can live in a clean, healthy, and respectful environment without sacrificing efficiency. Like a well- cooked meal, natural solutions take some time… but they warm your heart and soul.
