Rodents are distinguished, among other animals, by their excellent sense of smell.
They also like to settle in human dwellings, turning their lives into a real horror. Getting rid of them is very difficult.
Therefore, it is better to carry out high-quality prevention against these rodents.
If you take care in advance that they go around the house, you won’t have to constantly neutralize them.
The smell of melted rubber
Burnt rubber gives off a very unpleasant odor that causes mice and rats to panic and immediately run away from it.
To do this, take an old metal container, put a piece of rubber in it and set it on fire.
Rodents do not return to this place for six months or more.
Food vinegar
The smell of vinegar can repel harmful insects. And mice don't like its aroma.
To drive mice out of a room, it is worth treating the surfaces in the room with a vinegar solution.
The concentrated smell of vinegar will immediately cause rodents to leave the premises.
The smell of turpentine
It has a pungent smell, stronger than vinegar. Treat all surfaces in the room with it. The best effect is achieved by mixing turpentine with kerosene. This aroma will make rodents leave the room forever.
Burnt bird feathers, down or animal hair
Light feathers from an old pillow, an unwanted down jacket, or a wool sock with a hole in it in a metal container, but do not let it burn completely.
Spread what's left of them around the room. Add putty to the resulting ash and sprinkle them along the "paths".
There will be no more rodents in this room.
Birch tar
Smear ordinary rags with birch tar and place them in nooks and crannies.
