How to keep rats away from your home
According to Lakenormanpest peppermint oil is a powerful deterrent for rodents and other pests due to its fresh scent. To keep them away, dip cotton balls in the oil and place them in areas where rodents typically enter. Avoid leaving one entry point open, as it can lead to re-infestation.
Steel wool is an effective solution to keep rodents away from electrical wires, as they cannot chew them and can cause short circuits and fire hazards. Placed in small gaps, steel wool helps rodents find their target and is also effective as it annoys their teeth. This solution ensures a peaceful home environment.
The website also advises individuals to store food properly, and seal entry points by also setting traps. It is also super important to conduct a regular house cleaning, apply rodent poison and use garlic. If all that fails calling a professional pest control company could come in handy for the solution to the problem.
