How to Drive Away Rats Without Poisons and Mousetraps: Practical Advice for Gardeners
Gardening supply store experts have given advice on how to drive rats away from your property without using traps or poisons.
If you don't fix one problem, rodents will continue to appear for a very long time, and you will have to use a lot of poisons.
Experts recommend first depriving rats of accessible food sources. First of all, these are garbage bins located near walls and fences, from which rodents jump in and feast on waste. Garbage containers should be tightly closed and the chances of rats getting inside should be reduced to zero.
Experts also pointed out the importance of timely collection of ripe fruits so that they do not lie under trees and bushes.
Experts also advise not to leave the opportunity for rats to hide on the site. To do this, you need to inspect the house, outbuildings and the entire garden area: seal the cracks, sort out construction and other waste. Rats can also be attracted to compost if meat, lard, bones, fish guts, etc. were dumped there.
Once the rats have lost their food sources, it is time to move on to the next step. One effective way to repel rodents is to use aromatic oils.
Rats have a sensitive sense of smell. They will not like the smell of peppermint, eucalyptus, citronella oil.
"A few drops of these oils in their pure form around the area you want to protect should do the trick," the Express quoted experts as saying.
