No more problems with rats and mice: here’s how to get rid of them with regular TOOTHPASTE!

How to find out if there is a mouse in your house?

To find out whether your home is infested or not,  some clues  can lead you to identify them.

Whether it’s a mouse, rat or vole,  look for the following signs:

urine smell

scratches or paw prints

rubbing or scratching sounds

teeth marks on furniture

small stool with an unpleasant odor

How dangerous are rats?

 

At night, it is quite common to see rats or mice sneaking around in groups.

Although the sight of a rat is unpleasant and disgusting,  the risk of being bitten is very low.

Rather than attacking humans, the rat is a « sentient animal » that  prefers to run away rather than bite.

But it is true that it  can cause infections and other diseases.

Rodents are indeed often exposed to bacteria, but on the other hand, these diseases  are easily treatable thanks to antibiotic therapy.

However, if you are bitten, wash your hands thoroughly  with soap and water to best eliminate pathogens.

Then you need to quickly consult your doctor to get  appropriate antibiotic treatment.

How to make a homemade remedy for mice and rats?

 

There are various natural remedies  to get rid of rodents  and prevent them from colonizing our homes.

Among them,  a combination of baking soda and toothpaste is also recommended.

It turns out that this can be an effective way  to get rid of these pests quickly and effectively.

Discover the ease of making this repellent, which  contains only ingredients you probably have at home  .

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon baking soda

2 tablespoons flour

4 tablespoons chopped salted peanuts

1 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoons toothpaste

Usage:

 

Mix all ingredients in a container until  a compact and homogeneous mixture is obtained.

The toothpaste will serve as a binder for the drug.

Then  make small balls  and place them in the places where you saw mice.

Rodents should be attracted to the sugar and peanuts, and once they try the bait, that should solve your problem.

Baking soda causes the death of these pests.

Additional Tips for Natural Control of These Rodents

Natural solutions can be used to kill rats or repel rodents and are ideal as  a substitute for toxic products.

They should be tried according to the elements you have and the method that suits you best.

1. Gypsum and flour

 

 

 

Rodents like certain substances that can kill them once consumed.

Among them  is a mixture of plaster of Paris and flour  , which is very effective when rodents ingest the drug.

The same goes for cola  , which you just need to pour into a bowl and place in the house.

2. Mint

 

 

 

Peppermint is a natural repellent that is especially known for repelling mice and rats.

They really  hate the smell of this plant.

You can apply a few drops of essential oil  to a cotton swab  that you place in places like your terrace, balcony or garden to repel all kinds of rodents.

It can also be used in a flower pot and  placed in the same places.

3. Cayenne pepper

 

 

 

This pungent spice is  another effective repellent.

To use it,  follow these steps:

Take a container and put  2  teaspoons of cayenne pepper in it.

Add a teaspoon of liquid soap, stir and  mix with 2 cups of water.

Pour the solution  into a spray bottle.

Use it in areas such as the garden or yard.

4. Eucalyptus, lemongrass or sage

 

 

You can use  eucalyptus, lemongrass, or even clary essential oils  and place soaked cotton balls in the same areas.

The same applies to  other plants with a strong odor.

However, be sure to disclose the plants you choose, as  some may be toxic to people or pets.

5. Steel wool

It is a useful material for protection against unwanted creatures.

Steel wool can actually smooth out holes and cracks so you  limit their passage.

What about ultrasonic repellers?

These products owe their effectiveness  to sound vibrations that only rodents can perceive.

In addition to being particularly practical for repelling all types of rodents, they are devices  whose vibrations do not travel through walls.

To increase their effectiveness  , you will need to place them in every room of your home.

The cat will help too

The cat is known  to be an excellent predator  when it comes to hunting rats and mice.

If you have one, pests will run away from your home without a second thought.
