How to get rid of mice in the house for only 160 rubles: the method of taiga hunters

Cold weather sets in, the food supply of rodents is getting scarcer, which means that soon they will go in slender ranks to our houses, dachas and other buildings, where at least some kind of food is stored. How to deal with them? Mousetraps? Cats? Poison? You cannot catch and poison everyone! This is especially true in rural areas. But there is a completely humane and at the same time cheap way that will get rid of mice in the house. Read more about this below.

Only two pharmaceutical preparations and ...

Several years ago he moved to the Stavropol Territory. Life here is beauty: long hot summer, warm autumn, which sometimes immediately turns into early spring. There are also disadvantages. One of the downsides is the seasonal invasion of mice. In the summer they practically do not exist, since they have enough food in the fields, but with the cold they climb into houses and gnaw everything. They eat food, settle in insulation, some even gnaw on the wiring in the car. For example, in my new house they

settled in foamlocated between the cladding and the inner wall. For three years, they brought it into complete disrepair, in connection with which the brick house began to freeze. Had to drill the walls and do insulation with polyurethane foam. And this is a lot of expenses!

Why didn't we fight with them: we poisoned and caught with mousetraps, and the cats helped us. All this is useless. As they ran, they run around the house. Once my wife opened the microwave, and there was a mouse sitting there and looking at it! Mine almost fainted from such impudence.

But somehow I managed to talk to a man who often goes hunting and fishing in the taiga. Mice also cause them inconvenience: they eat provisions in hunting lodges and spoil ammunition. So they are fighting them with the help of two inexpensive pharmaceuticals: peppermint tincture and peppermint essential oil.

Powerful Mouse Relief Recipe

Everything is done very simply: mint essential oil is diluted with peppermint tincture in a ratio of 1: 2.5. That is, for 10 ml of essential oil there is 25 milliliters of tincture. All this is thoroughly shaken in a vial, drawn into a syringe and applied to those places where mice live. You can apply this solution to cotton balls and spread it around the house, in the attic, in the basement. 35 ml of this product is enough for a month in a house with an area of ​​50–70 sq. meters.

The concentrated smell of mint is unbearable to mice - they run from it like the devil from incense. Where there is a smell of this remedy, there are no mice! In the cold season, I carry out prophylaxis with this composition once a month and a half. For the money, it is quite inexpensive. Just today I bought these drugs and spent only 151 rubles. If you are fed up with mice, I recommend this method!
