Mice are unwanted guests in any home and can cause a lot of trouble.
They chew wires, furniture, clothes, food, pollute the premises and carry various diseases.
How to get rid of these annoying rodents without harming your health and the environment? There is one simple and effective method that requires only a few drops of one product.
What product should I use?
The remedy that will help you get rid of all mice from your house is called mint.
Mint is an aromatic plant that has many beneficial properties for humans, but is deadly to mice.
Mice cannot stand the smell of mint because it irritates their nasal receptors. Mice try to avoid places where they smell mint and prefer to leave the house where they cannot breathe freely.
How to Use Mint Against Mice
To get rid of mice using mint, you will need the following ingredients:
- A few drops of peppermint essential oil or a few fresh or dried mint leaves.
- Several cotton pads or balls.
- Several plastic or glass jars with lids.
The process of expelling mice looks like this:
1. Soak cotton pads or balls in peppermint essential oil or wrap them in mint leaves.
2. Place one disc or ball in each jar and close the lid.
3. Make a few small holes in the lid to allow the mint scent to escape.
4. Place jars throughout your home, especially in places where you have noticed traces of mice, such as corners, cracks, basement, attic, kitchen, pantry, etc.
5. Change the discs or balls every 2-3 days to keep the mint scent strong and consistent.
6. After some time, you will notice that there are fewer mice in your house or they have disappeared completely.
This way you can get rid of mice without harming yourself or your pets. Mint is a natural and safe remedy that not only drives out mice but also fills your home with a pleasant aroma.
