Rats and mice have a fantastic ability to sneak into homes thanks to their incredible flexibility.. These pests can enter through unsealed cracks around pipes and wires, cracks in the foundation, or even forgotten holes in walls..

According to experienced owners, in this case, smell-based repellents should be used to drive away the intruder rodent, using the rats' keen sense of smell, writes OBOZ. U.A.. The best deterrent is eucalyptus oil.. It should be dissolved in water and sprayed wherever you saw these rats. These pests just hate the smell of this product..

After spraying the appropriate spray, at least 20 minutes must pass.

After this, rats will definitely not return to your house..

If you don't want to bother with the spray, scatter cotton balls coated with eucalyptus oil around the house..

This same trick also works effectively outdoors.. This is an excellent alternative to various store-bought chemicals, as it is safe enough for other animals and will not cause the same harm that poison can cause..
