How to Get Rid of Mice & Rats in the Home With Peppermint
- 1). Do an inspection of your house and locate the areas where rats and mice are getting into the house and where they are going. Check under porches, at the corners of the outside walls and around windowsills. Make a list of these areas.
- 2). Clean up each area on your list. Pick up food scraps, used tissue paper, clothes and seal all the known entrances that the mice and rats use. Inevitably, there will be more that you have missed, but seal all the ones you find.
- 3). Pour peppermint oil over the rags and place them in the corners of the rooms you just cleaned and sealed. Spread peppermint oil soaked rags all around your property and at each of the four corners of your house. The peppermint repels rodents due to the highly intense and aromatic fumes of the peppermint.
- 4). Replace the rags every week or so until you no longer have a rodent infestation.
