To naturally deter rats and mice, you can create a repellent using Vicks VapoRub, sugary cookies, and baking soda. Follow these steps:
- Ingredients: Crush three sugary cookies into a fine powder, mix in one tablespoon of baking soda, and blend with one teaspoon of Vicks VapoRub.
- Preparation: Form the mixture into a dough and shape it into two small balls.
- Placement: Position the balls in areas where rats or mice are likely to appear. The sweet cookies attract them, while the baking soda and Vicks VapoRub repel them.
This non-toxic solution helps keep your home free of rodents and reduces the risk of diseases like hantavirus and leptospirosis. It’s a straightforward and natural pest control method.
