4. Bring in a Dryer sheet
I haven’t seen anyone that doesn’t like the magnificent smell of a dryer sheet. Select your best scent and place a couple around your home. This approach is quite similar to making use of a bar soap since the odour tends to drive them away. Remember to replace the dry sheets regularly to ensure the place keeps smelling strong. The rodents will sure look for a place to get fresh air. This is a win-win situation as your home will have a fresh scent and at the same time rodent free.
5. Ensure you have an extra bar of soap Strong smell
All you need to keep rodent away is a bar of a very potent soap. For example, Irish spring would do just fine. It is a known fact that rats, mice, and rodents, in general, do not like very strong smells. All you need do is just open a bar soap and keep it outside. You really do not have anything to worry about.
6. Take away food when you are done eating
Rodents will turn your house to a buffet if you keep food in cupboards, or level they open when you are done eating. Ensure you take away food when you are done eating. Rodents will migrate to other locations if they cannot find food in your house. You do not want to leave anything to chance.
7. Dab Mothballs or Peppermint Oil
Mothballs and peppermint oil has very strong scent that tends to keep the rodents away. It is essential that you do not make use of peppermint extract as they do not have the same effect. You can dab cotton wools in peppermint oil and place them in strategic locations around the house. Although, some people aren’t comfortable with mothballs, however this approach is ideal during the winter season.
