Smells that mice can not stand: how harmless means got rid of mice
They say that mice do not settle in mineral wool. All this is a myth. An acquaintance lived for two years in a village of frame houses near a collective farm field. He told how they fought rodents. If you do not take timely measures, having eaten plenty of grain, the mice run from the field to the houses and settle even in mineral wool, even in ecowool. But they still found a way to defeat rodents.
In our time, a huge number of tools have been developed to combat rodents. In stores, you can buy poisonous pellets, pickled grain, toxic glues and other "rat death". Do you think we poison only rodents or some of this mouse "yummy" gets into our body? Let's talk about safe formulas today..
In the village in question, there were many families with small children. After the academy, young specialists were sent to work on a collective farm. Families settled in frame houses closer to work - a stone's throw from the field. It is clear that every autumn rodents climbed from the fields to nearby houses. I didn't really want to poison mice with poison. After all, small children could easily get into the poison.
We saved ourselves with a natural, environmentally friendly, proven old-fashioned method - we used peppermint oil and birch tar. Mice can't stand their smell. But removing rodents if they have already settled in your house is not so easy. Therefore, they acted ahead of the curve.
Treatment with drugs began about a week before the first frost. The goal is to prevent mice from entering the house.
A solution of birch tar and peppermint was applied directly to the beams of a frame house, soaked with old rags and laid out on the territory.
Someone processed the composition only underground at home. Someone diluted the composition in the water and spilled the territory around the perimeter. It is difficult to say what exactly was more effective. One thing is important - with such manipulations it was possible to fight off hordes of mice that migrated from the fields.
Perhaps someone will come in handy with such an environmentally friendly alternative to modern chemicals against mice. Bullying is bullying, but you also need to think about your health.
