3️⃣ Bonus: Add Chili or Garlic for Extra Power
-
Mix onion slices + crushed garlic or chili powder for a stronger deterrent.
⚠️ Important Notes
✔ Not instant kill: This repels, not poisons—rats will leave, not die in your walls.
✔ Outdoor use: Bury onion scraps in garden soil to deter burrowing.
✔ Pet-safe: Unlike poison, onions won’t harm animals unless directly eaten in large amounts (cats/dogs usually avoid raw onions).
🌿 Why This Beats Poison
✅ Cheap (one onion = weeks of protection).
✅ No dead rat smell (they flee instead of dying inside).
✅ Eco-friendly (no chemicals harming wildlife).
Try it for a week—you’ll see the difference!
P.S. For heavy infestations, combine with steel wool + peppermint oil in entry holes. 🚪🐀
