Mice can appear in a country house both in summer and in winter, as they are looking for a relatively warm place.
Do not underestimate the harm caused by rodents, which easily damage furniture, wires, walls and food.
Some summer residents prefer to use standard traps, but we suggest paying attention to less popular methods.
The presented options are more humane and more aimed at repelling rodents.
How to scare away mice
Here are 4 ways.
- Peppermint oil. It contains certain chemicals that repel mice because they cannot stand the pungent smell.
- Fabric softener. They also cannot stand the smell of fabric softener, but the space will have to be treated regularly.
- Used cat litter. Another smell that mice hate.
- Apple cider vinegar. The substance has a sharp aroma that will easily scare away many mice.
