Although rats may be a major pain in any house, getting rid of them doesn’t always need the use of poisons or elaborate traps. The most out-of-the-ordinary things may sometimes provide the best results.
Keeping rats at bay is easy using Vick Vaporub, an ointment that most people already have in their homes. Here’s how it works.
What You Need:
Three sugary cookies of your choice
One tablespoon of bicarbonate
1-Teaspoon Vicks VapoRub
To make a fine powder, crush the cookies.
Mix the ground cookies with the baking soda until completely combined.
Knead the ingredients with your fingers until it becomes a uniform dough, then add the teaspoon of Vick Vaporub.
Split the dough in half and shape each half into a tiny ball or pile.
You may bait a spot where you think rats congregate by placing two or three of these parts in a container and leaving it there.
The tempting scent of the cookies will draw in the rodents, but the combination of baking soda and Vicks Vaporub will drive them away.
