Summer residents are no longer surprised that mice crawl into their homes and outbuildings in winter. In search of food, rodents spoil supplies and property, leaving behind garbage and odor.
Today, you can not only catch or poison rodents, but also scare them away, and with inexpensive folk remedies.
We will tell you how to protect your summer house from mice for the winter.
To avoid messing around with traps, mousetraps and poisons, it is better to scare away rodents, but not with ultrasound, but with a smell that mice hate.
These are relatively humane methods of control that force pests to leave the house and save property.
Mint
The plant can be safely called a godsend in the fight against mice. Rodents cannot stand its smell, and for humans it is even pleasant and beneficial for well-being.
You can mix peppermint essential oil with tincture. Both are sold in pharmacies and are inexpensive.
The concentration of the solution is chosen at your discretion. The product is used to treat any surfaces.
You can spray it in corners, along baseboards and on any other surface where mice might appear.
The concentrated scent will last for more than one month.
Along with this remedy, you can use burdock, wormwood and black root. Mice also don't like these plants.
