Getting rid of mice is a troublesome business, and many people think that the best way to eliminate these small rodents in the house is to systematically kill them. However, there are several ways to get rid of rodents without using poisons and special glue.
Killing rodents, contrary to popular belief, cannot scare off their relatives, because other individuals will come to the place of the killed mice to take advantage of the food that was freed for them. It creates a kind of vicious circle, which will be very difficult to get rid of. It’s best not to kill the mice, but to create unbearable conditions for them.
Try using peppermint oil. The mouse simply does not tolerate the smell of this oil; it is too strong for them. Also, the mint aroma will help to “interrupt” the smells of tasty for rodents pieces that you missed during cleaning. Use oil as follows: drip 1-2 drops on a cotton pad and put in places where rodents can enter the house, for example, in the ventilation openings and doorways. You can also plant several mint bushes next to x in the house, this will scare away uninvited guests.
Seal rodent burrows using metal kitchen sponges. Mice will not gnaw them, and rodents cannot get into the house.
If there is a cat at home, but for some reason she does not want to catch mice, from time to time put her tray at the entrance to the house. The mice smell the smell of the tray and will stay away.
The sound signal emitted by a special device repels mice well. This sound is safe for dogs and cats, but the rodents really dislike it. If you do not want to fight mice with the help of poison and mousetraps, purchase a special electronic unit to repel rodents.
In order for the mouse to not wound up in the house, it must be kept clean. Rodents are unlikely to like being where there is nothing to profit. Therefore, you should store food in special containers and remove breadcrumbs and cereal residues on time.
