Ground Clove Repellent: The potent aroma of ground cloves can be an effective repellent. Place it near entry points, refreshing every few days.

 

Dryer Sheet Barriers: Surround areas of rodent activity with dryer sheets. Their strong smell is off-putting to mice and rats.

 

Feline Assistance: Consider adopting a cat. Not only will a cat actively hunt these pests, but its presence and scent will naturally deter them from entering.

 

Disposing of a Dead Mouse:

If you find a dead rodent, always use gloves. Double-bag the rodent in sealable bags and dispose of it in your outside trash can. This ensures safe and hygienic disposal.

 

Implementing these strategies can help you reclaim your home from unwelcome rodent visitors. Remember, consistency and a combination of methods are key for effective control.
