During the winter season, rodents such as mice and rats remain active and often seek shelter and food. These agile creatures are able to move even on snow cover and often form groups in search of a cozy and nutritious place, which is often residential buildings. By penetrating even the smallest cracks, they can become unwanted guests. Here are some ways to get rid of uninvited neighbors.
Using mothballs is one of the methods of rodent control. Place them in places where you have noticed the activity of these animals, but be careful because they can pose a danger to pets.
Peppermint is another effective and safe way for pets to repel rodents. This natural method can be used both inside and outside the home.
Soak cotton pads with a few drops of peppermint essential oil and place them in areas where rodents are present. Don’t forget to update them every seven days.
It is also important to determine which cracks rodents are entering your home through and then seal them with expansion foam or other means.
