This information is bogus. After I have caught several rats they will avoid the trap so I scrub them in bleach water with a tooth brush. Mice are easy to catch, they will visit the baited trap no matter what.

All the mints, had a terrible problem seasonally in the city running in and out, due to a flourishing packed front garden of 8' tall, plate sized sunflowers--rodents thrive on the seeds--they HATE cinnamon (even little bundled if sticks tied and placed around), And so many potted herbs, a windowsill full of basil, sage, rosemary...but the macdaddy of all repellants, I saw them fleeing from under my kitchen out into the yard, to my utter shock: PEPPERMINT OIL SPRAY! It's not even poison (which I tried and had limited dangerous success (oh they eat the chunks in your house--you are looking for dead animal... not safe anywhere near a pet or child). The Gallon of peppermint oil spray around occasionally still if I see any signs. The granule packets last in strong smell about 2 months (the spray it again, a small 4"sq.pillow), 😂 threw a dozen up in my attic... GONE.

[@senianns9522]

Years ago I heard a noise in my kitchen. I looked into the kitchen and noticed the Paprika spice jar had fallen. A couple of nights later it happened again. The following night I put some Paprika on the counter and waited. I heard the noise and saw a field rat attracted to the Paprika. Next night I set the trap with Paprika. Got it! How strange! Never since had any issues!

[@grantfahlman1815]

I can confirm mothballs work very well. I have a shed I rebuilt last year, under which mice had gone crazy, and after replacing everything except the frame I stapled small bags of mothballs (purchased at Walmart) under the new floor. After one year I can still easily smell the mothballs when I'm near the shed and have seen no evidence of any mice!

[@Sunshine-fy4fz]

thanks for the tip - I'm trying to get rid of mice who think it's fun to chew the wires in my car - they got inside and chewed up the wiring to my gas gauge so it always showed I had an empty tank. Took the car in and they found not only chewed up wiring (from inside the car under the seats they had to remove, and found a family of dead little mice!! $1500 later, my car is fixed but I'm afraid of mice returning this winter.

[@funfan515]

@@Sunshine-fy4fz That is most definitely annoying! I can relate. The car dealerships do charge an arm and a leg for any rodent damage and no insurance covers that! Smart 🤔☹️! We learned our lesson when squirrels decided to be mechanics in our car. It was a disaster. And the mice issue is a familiar one also… in the garage, where they think they should share the space and the advantages of living indoors with possible food sources . 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ In this winter I’m following a southeastern farmer’s smart advice! Jiffy muffin mix + baking soda in a plastic container with a small whole = the mice eat it, cannot digest it, but walk away and die elsewhere! Excellent solution!!! Clean without having dead headless animals, or squeaking ones on a sticky track, or numerous others in a bucket… when I have no idea what to do with them…🙄🙄🙄😆😆

[@gene5148]

They banned mothballs in my country because they were found to carry hazard chemicals which causes cancer but I can remember back in the day before the ban we used to put them in drawers and wardrobes and I used to throw a couple under the seats of my car I liked the fresh smell.

I have successfully repelled mice using swimming pool granular chlorine. I buy a 3 lb pack in the discount store and put a tablespoon in a coffee cup lid near mouse droppings. The leftover can be used in your washing machine btw. Much cheaper than and equal to/ better than Chlorox.

[@coloradomom9180]

[@jameshisself9324]

Just a note for viewers- don't think that these smells or any others will drive rodents out of your house or attic or some space. Nothing works- light, sounds, smells, etc. Indoors is so much safer for rodents than anything else that they will not leave. The only reliable method to get them out is to close up access points and then trap the rodents. Bucket traps work very well and are pretty much the one reliable easy solution.

[@owenblake90]

As a licensed DEC nuisance wildlife person, I can say you are right.

I avoid using ammonia inside because it seems to indicate where house pets should go to relieve themselves. The smell of the ammonia from urine is what dogs use to “mark their territory”.

We are in Hawaii. While there are an almost overwhelming number of two legged rats there are even greater numbers of the four legged kind. The understanding we have is; You; the rats, keep off the human areas - Lanai and inside the house and we'll not mess with you. But when your table manners become too obvious we will set traps and kill your entire family. In the mean time when we wash, scrub or see rat stuff we wash with a cup of Pine Sol to about two gallons of water. It's an "Okay" cleaner but the odor of the Pine Sol seems to be enough to disrupt the rat scent trails they leave as they scoot about seeking food and adventure. A couple of cats can really improve the rat count as well. We've found that screening the downspouts really helps too.
