Rodents, especially in a house with clapboard siding, multiply very quickly, after which they begin to feel like real masters. They make noise at night, gnaw wooden walls, furniture, wires also spoil food. It is almost impossible to catch them all with mousetraps, and if you poison them, their corpses begin to decompose in inaccessible cavities and emit an odor. In this regard, when mice invade a house, it is better not to kill them, but simply to create such conditions for them that they are forced to leave.
What you will need:
- alcohol tincture of peppermint;
- peppermint essential oil;
- large disposable syringe.
All components can be purchased at the pharmacy. To treat an average home, you will need to purchase 3-4 bottles of each product.
Home processing process
To treat rodents, you need to mix together vials of alcohol and oil tincture of peppermint.
It is important to use both components. If you use only a cheaper alcohol tincture, it will quickly evaporate and the smell will soon disappear.When mixing the two components, the finished product is liquid enough to be drawn into a syringe and moderately concentrated.
Then the prepared mixture is drawn into a large syringe with a needle.
Next, you need to squeeze out the product in small portions into the cavity where the mice live. It should be poured into their holes, cracks in floorboards, wall cladding, if they are lined with clapboard. If the ceilings are suspended, then you can pour the mixture behind them through the holes for installing spotlights. It is also worth shedding the wiring if mice begin to chew on its insulation.
Due to the thin needle of the syringe, injections can be injected into small crevices in cavities that are otherwise impossible to reach. You should try not to pour mint into open areas so that the fumes are retained strictly in the mouse passages and less of them enter the living area.
Rodents have a very strong sense of smell compared to humans. They cannot stand such a rich smell, so they leave the house. After treatment with the mixture, the smell persists for about 10 days. Then the procedure must be repeated. If you pour the product strictly into the cavity, then its smell in the room will be barely perceptible. It does not seem intrusive or disturbing, but in the passages of rodents it will be unbearable, which, given the enhanced sense of smell of mice, will give 100% results. Expelling rodents in this way is much better than poisoning them and then breathing the smell of pests decaying in their burrows for weeks.
