Extremely simple but very effective method

3 Simple Ways to Keep Your Home Completely Mouse-Free

There’s one key principle when implementing measures to drive mice out of your living space: never block all of their escape routes. If you scare the mice into wanting to leave but then obstruct their path to escape, they’ll become frantic and may even resort to biting and clawing in desperation. Instead, create an escape route so they can leave for good. The following simple methods are sure to help you effectively eliminate mice from your home:

1. Use Mazut Oil

You can easily obtain a bit of mazut oil at motorcycle repair shops or similar stores. This oil has an extremely unpleasant odor that frightens mice. Pouring mazut oil in areas where mice frequent will scare them away. Moreover, if a mouse comes into contact with the oil, it will try to lick it off – ingesting mazut can poison and eventually ki.ll the mouse.

2. Use Mashed Potatoes

Potatoes contain sodium, which can cause mice to bloat. Place a small amount of mashed potato along with a bowl of water near a mouse hole. The mice will eat the mashed potato and then drink the water due to thirst. As the potato expands in their stomach, it can ultimately be fatal.

3. Repel Mice with Chili Powder

Using chili powder is a simple yet highly effective way to repel mice. Instead of kil.ling them – which might only make them more desperate and aggressive – you can drive them out completely so they dare not return.

• Method: Simply sprinkle a bit of chili powder around the corners of your home or in areas where mice commonly roam.
• For a larger infestation: Mix chili powder into a solution (water, about two tablespoons of chili powder, a splash of vegetable oil, and some detergent) and spray it in various areas of your home.

Bonus: Mint Leaves

Mint is not only a natural repellent for insects like cockroaches and mosquitoes, but its strong aroma also deters mice. You can use mint leaves, mint essential oil, or even mint-scented powder to keep mice at bay. Alternatively, growing clusters of mint around your home is an effective, natural method to discourage mouse activity.

By employing these methods, you can create a mouse-free environment in your home without resorting to ha.rmful chemicals.
