Getting rid of rats with peppermint oil

Rats are proved to always be very active in terrifying and irritating you by appearing at unnecessary places out of nowhere. Imagine returning home after a long hectic day and expecting to have a long and calm nap but what you come to see is the presence of an uninvited small creature meandering around in your house. It would be an add up to your tired and irritated self. Along with ruining your mood by just appearing around you, the rats could also cause several possible damages. They can destroy your furniture or other households by chewing them and they can make your house so untidy and messy by discharging their feces or urine all around your houses or workplace. You can never even think to ignore such situations; your priority would be to remove that annoying creature from your place. For doing so you would need some effective ways or products that could help you solve your problem.

Why peppermint oil should be used to get rid of mice or rats:

Peppermint oil is the natural organic product made by the extraction of mentha Piperita which is a peppermint plant. If you have kids or any pets at your place, then it will be very risky and dangerous to use any of the rat killing poisons or traps to remove the rats from your place. Along with being dangerous such as poisons or other rat killing products would be costly and sometimes also difficult to find. In such situations, the products available with you at home would be very beneficial.



How to use peppermint oil for getting rid of rats:

Peppermint oil is highly concentrated oil with a strong, wide-spreading and long-lasting odor. The odor of this plant is highly disliked by the rats or mice. They avoid approaching the places with such smells. So, this oil could be used to get rid of rats in the following way: First of all, you have to take the original essential oil of the peppermint plant. Make sure that it is the original organic oil and not any other processed oil with the scent of peppermint. Mix three to four spoons of peppermint oil in one cup of water and shake it well, that both liquids get stirred well into each other. Put this liquid mixture into a spraying bottle and spray this mixture in the corners of your house or at all the places where the presence of rat is expected. Repeat this spraying process every week.

The other method to use this oil would be dipping a cotton ball in the peppermint oil and placing it at several places where the rat would probably approach. When your place will smell like the peppermint, rats would never try to hear towards it.

Bottom line:

Getting rid of rats by using peppermint oil is proved to be a very effective method among all rat killing measures or products. This method is recommended because of several reasons; it is less costly as compared to many other products, it is mostly available in your homes or could be easily bought from markets, it's all ingredients are natural that means it is not dangerous for you, your children or your pets, and the last and most important, it produces effective results.
