How to protect your cellar supplies from rats and mice: an inexpensive and safe way

Unfortunately, rats and mice remain complete masters of garden plots throughout the long winter.

Pests can get into anything if they smell supplies. These are not only cabinets, cupboards and other furniture, but primarily cellars and other storage areas for vegetables and fruits.

The problem is not only that someone will come and eat everything that the gardener has been growing for months without stopping.

The problem is that mice and rats are carriers of pathogens for a number of diseases, including dangerous ones.

In this case, eating vegetables or fruits becomes unsafe, but no one wants to use chemicals to fight rodents where food is stored.

In addition to leaving various mousetraps and traps in storage, you can use repellents. These are not only electronic devices that successfully cope with the task, but only as long as the power source is in good working order.

Popular wisdom recommends beating the enemy with his own weapon in this case. Rodents have a keen sense of smell and react painfully to some smells.

Rats and mice do not like black root and some other plants. But you need to have some stock to protect the cellar with them.

It’s easier to buy Vishnevsky ointment at the pharmacy, treat rags with it and leave them in the corners of the cellar or other room.

The parasites will quickly forget the way here, and nothing will happen to the supplies.
