Humans love the warm spice of cloves, but mice and rats can’t handle it. Put sachets of whole cloves in cupboards or dab a cotton ball with clove oil and hide it in corners. Fast, effective, and chemical-free.
6. Ammonia Solution
The smell of ammonia mimics predator urine—a natural “danger signal” for rodents. Place a small bowl of 2 cups ammonia mixed with water where rats are most active. They’ll disappear quickly.
7. Vinegar Spray
White vinegar is a cheap, fast-working deterrent. Spray it undiluted in dark storage areas, attics, or spots with droppings. Its sharp scent overwhelms rodents instantly.
8. Bay Leaves
Scatter fresh bay leaves in the pantry or cupboards. Rodents often mistake them for food, but once they chew, they flee because of the compounds released.
9. Steel Wool + Essential Oils
Rodents can squeeze through tiny holes, but steel wool blocks them. Soak the wool in peppermint or clove oil and stuff it into cracks and gaps. The texture plus the scent creates a powerful two-in-one defense.
10. Ultrasonic Repellent + Natural Scents
