Also, avoid using materials like wood or
rubber which are easily degraded by mice and rats.
Peppermint oil

Bars of soap

They keep rodents away and act as a perfect repellent. Simply place them around doors, windows, and any possible openings.
Other tips

– If you have animals like rabbits, chickens or horses,
Put them in a rodent-proof enclosure and clean their shelters regularly.
– Don’t leave food lying around.
– Raise trash cans off the ground more than 30 centimeters.
– Grow rodent-repellent plants in your gardens, such as crown imperial, eucalyptus, or peppermint.
– Having a cat at home is a great help in getting rid of rodents,
since they are real predators who often find pleasure in exterminating them to play with them, without actually eating them.
However, a risk of cat poisoning can quickly arise if the mouse has ingested a toxic product.
