When rodents like mice and rats invade your house, it might seem like you're fighting an uphill battle. Whenever we're not careful, these cunning critters will sneak into our kitchens, garages, and garden sheds in search of food and refuge. But fear not! For all your pest control needs, there is an amazingly easy and all-natural solution that will keep those pesky pests at bay. The clandestine weaponry? Mint, pepper, and lemon. It may sound like a cooking ingredient, but this concoction will keep rats at least two kilometers away from your home!
Which seasonings are best with lemon and pepper? You can't go wrong with either lemons or black pepper on their own. The intense citrus aroma of lemons is extremely repulsive to rats. However, black pepper aggravates their delicate nasal passages. There will be an odor barrier that rats and mice will do their best to avoid when you combine the two.
Implementing This Approach:
Get Your Ingredients Ready: Incorporate a good amount of powdered black pepper into the mixture with the juice of a couple lemons. The precise amounts aren't important, but you should have enough of each to provide a discernible aroma.
Useful Hints: Locate the entry points and known rodent hiding spots in your house. Such a spot might be next to a window, door, or even a crack in the foundation.
