If I had known earlier that oil would help get rid of mice, I would not have wasted time on other methods.

In the struggle for the safety of food in the kitchen and for psychological peace of mind, wives have tried a bunch of ways to deal with mice: from sticky cardboard boxes to blue pads with poison. Some means even helped.

But the best and at the same time the most humane way was suggested to me by one of the subscribers. And if I had known him earlier, I would not have wasted a lot of time and money on other tricks. I will not delay, I will tell you what this method is.

I will say right away: the method works, I checked it personally and would not waste your time if it were not so.

We will not destroy the mice, but scare them away: let him go to the neighbor!

Go to the pharmacy and buy two things: peppermint essential oil (you need peppermint, the usual one will not work) and a regular disposable syringe.

You probably guessed it.
We open the jar, pump the oil into the syringe. By the way, it is better to do this outdoors or in a ventilated area: a workshop or a shed. Peppermint oil hurts the eyes not only of mice, but also of humans.

Now we go to the places where gray pests were noticed and spray everything around the perimeter with a syringe - all zones of possible penetration of rodents into your house.

Done: literally in a day, not a single rodent will remain in the house: everyone will leave to look for a better life with their neighbors or wherever.

This method will cost you less than 50 rubles, and you will not have to rake out the rodent bodies (as if you were using poison).

Your comments are highly welcome!

I will be glad to discuss / help with advice / answer questions!
