To use:
Mix all the ingredients in a container until you get a compact and homogeneous mixture.
The toothpaste acts as a binder for the medication.
Then form small balls and place them where you have seen mice.
Rodents should be attracted to the sugar and peanuts, and if they try the bait, it should have solved your problem.
The baking soda kills these pests.
Other tips for natural rodent control
Natural solutions can be used to kill rats or repel rodents and are an ideal substitute for toxic products.
They should be tested depending on the materials you have available and the method that works best for you.
1. Plaster and Flour
Rodents like certain substances that they can kill if they consume them.
This includes a mixture of plaster and flour, which is very effective when rodents ingest the medication.
The same goes for cola, which you simply pour into a bowl and place around the house.
2. Mint
Peppermint is a natural repellent that is particularly well-known for repelling mice and rats.
They really hate the smell of this plant.
You can put a few drops of essential oil on a cotton swab and place it in areas such as your patio, balcony, or garden to repel all kinds of rodents.
It can also be used in a flower pot and placed in the same areas.
Using mint as a natural mouse repellent also works against spiders.
3. Cayenne Pepper
This hot spice is another effective repellent.
To use it, follow these steps:
Take a container and add 2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper.
Add a teaspoon of liquid soap, stir, and mix with 2 cups of water.
Pour the solution into a spray bottle.
Use them in areas such as the garden or yard.
4. Eucalyptus, lemongrass, or sage
You can use eucalyptus, lemongrass, or even clary sage essential oils and place soaked cotton balls in the same areas.
The same goes for other strong-smelling plants.
However, be sure to disclose the plants you choose, as some can be toxic to humans or pets.
5. Steel wool
This is a useful material for protecting against unwanted creatures.
Steel wool can actually smooth out holes and cracks, thus limiting their passage.
What about ultrasonic repellents? These products owe their effectiveness to sound vibrations that only rodents can perceive.
Not only are they particularly practical for repelling all kinds of rodents, but their vibrations also don't penetrate walls.
To increase their effectiveness, you should place them in every room of your house.
A cat will also help. Cats are known to be excellent predators when it comes to hunting rats and mice.
If you have one, pests will flee your home without hesitation.
