Home Remedies to Get Rid of Mice

When it comes time to get rid of mice, many people wish to repel and drive out critters before clearing away traps, locating dead carcasses hidden in walls, and shelling out the money to hire an exterminator. If you are looking for home remedies to get rid of mice, consider the following suggestions:

a) Peppermint and Peppermint Oil:

In just about every home remedy circle, you will hear that mice cannot stand the scent of peppermint or peppermint oil. Soak a cotton ball in the oil of peppermint and place it at a suspected entryway.

e) Mint Toothpaste:

If you’ve located a hole where a mouse enters and exits a room, smear on a small amount of mint toothpaste. The smell should send the mice running in the opposite direction. You can also rub the toothpaste along the bottom of baseboards, and in other spaces that you think mice may enter your home.

j) Peanut Butter:

Are you looking for an effective bait to lure your unwanted visitor? The next time you lay traps, use peanut butter as bait – a treat that a mouse cannot resist. Since the peanut butter is sticky, he or she is unable to swipe it before setting off a trap [3].

n) Baking Soda:

Baking soda has been known to help keep mice out of the places they like to frequent. Shake a bit around their suspected hiding places, and they should stay away [4]. This home remedy for mice is also safe for pets and children, and is easily removable with the swipe of a broom or roar of a vacuum cleaner.
4. Mothballs - Mice find a place to stay particularly on shed or garages for the winter season. Place mothballs around your garage or any areas that mice stay in, mice will look for other places to live. In the house, mothballs are used to prevent mice from kitchen cupboards, drawers, and other storage spots.
7. Onions – Crush onion and place it where the mouse normally runs through or cornered areas. The smell of onion is offensive to mice.
8. Lavender - It is another strong-smelling herb that mice are not usually attracted to. Lavender is an excellent option to get rid of mice from apartments mainly because of the sweet smell of lavender is soothing and relaxing to humans but is repellent to mice. Try fresh lavender, dried lavender or lavender essential oil dripped onto paper, and place the paper near places mice could get into. [6]

Home Remedies for ants under control. Cinnamon: Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon in or around the place you see ants gathering and they will quickly make an exit. Lemons: To keep ants out of the kitchen, squirt lemon juice on the thresholds of your doors and windowsills. Squeeze the lemon juice into any holes or cracks that you have seen ant activity. Scatter small slices of lemon peel around the entrance of your outside door [2]. You can also pour a mixture of the juice from four lemon rinds and ½ gallon of water into an anthill situated close to your home to encourage the pests to find a new home. Black Pepper: Sprinkle black pepper where you see a gathering of ants and they will scatter immediately. If you sprinkle where you have seen them enter, they will not return. Chalk: A line of plain white chalk will stop ants from entering your home.
