3. Clove essential oil
Another oil they hate is clove oil. This has to be done exactly the same as in the previous step, but we can increase the potency of the aroma by adding a couple of cloves in the center of the cotton.
4. Bay leaves
Bay laurel is a great repellent for rats and insects, ideally you should have some branches in places where mice are and change them once they dry. But it is best to have some pots at the entrances of the house to scare them away and not have to worry about changing the dry leaves.
5. Aluminum foil
For this method, we have to cover some surfaces where they can climb, either in the kitchen or in the bathroom. The texture of the foil is slippery for them, which makes it impossible to climb and with the noise it makes it scares them away.
6. Homemade Mouse Repellent Spray
To make a homemade mouse repellent spray, you need some hot peppers. The hotter these peppers are, the more effective they are. I recommend wearing protective gloves, as they can irritate your hands and part of your skin.
Need:
- 1 liter of water
- 1/2 cup chopped hot pepper (if it’s habanero, better)
- 2 tbsp. of Hot Pepper Seed
Preparation and how to use:
- In a blender, put all the ingredients and blend for a few minutes until you get a homogeneous mixture.
- Put the mixture in a jar and let it rest covered for 1 day.
- After the time, strain the mixture and put the liquid in a sprinkler.
- We spray everywhere in the house, especially in places where we know they’re going to happen. Be careful with carpets and furniture, as it can stain them.
In this way, we get a homemade mouse repellent aerosol without spending too much!
