Brilio.net - Rats are rodents that often come into homes. This certainly makes the residents of the house feel uncomfortable. Not without reason, mice often eat up the food stock in the kitchen. Not to mention, rat droppings also make the house smell like urine.
In fact, if left alone, mice will build nests in the house. This causes mice to breed easily so that the population continues to increase. If it's like this, it's a headache to get rid of it, right?
Most people deliberately put rat poison in areas frequented by rats. After leaving it overnight, the mice that ate the poison just died. Even so, dead mice sometimes produce an unpleasant odor.
To minimize this from happening, you can use other methods to reduce the rat population at home. Instead of putting poison, you can follow YouTube user CAKRA CREATIVE as he makes a rat repellent concoction in his house. In his video upload, it appears that this netizen only relies on simple ingredients that are easily available out there.
How to get rid of mice using your own repellent mixture.
First, grind one camphor. To do this, put the camphor in the mask then press it gently with a hammer. Do this process until the camphor becomes a fine powder.

Once done, remove the mask and transfer the camphor powder into a plastic bottle. After that, pour 15 drops of eucalyptus oil into it as a mouse repellent mixture. According to him, this ingredient is effective in keeping mice away from the house.
"The smell of eucalyptus oil is very strong and it scares insects, especially rats," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube CAKRA KREATIF on Monday (11/3).

It doesn't stop there, this netizen also seems to rely on one kitchen ingredient as a mixture for rat repellent. Instead of ordinary water, this netizen seems to have added a few drops of table vinegar into a plastic bottle. Stir until all ingredients are completely mixed.

If so, transfer the mouse repellent potion into a spray bottle. Then close the spray bottle tightly and the mouse repellent potion can be applied immediately. To do this, spray it in areas of the house that mice often pass by. In the video, this netizen sprays a rat repellent concoction in front of the door of the house.
"This way, it's guaranteed that rats won't come through here again, guys," said the owner of the video.

How to keep mice from getting out of the toilet.
There are several ways you can try to prevent mice from getting out of the toilet:
1. Cover holes and gaps.
Make sure there are no holes or gaps around the toilet that mice can use to get in or out. Repair or cover well any gaps that may exist.
2. Use a toilet cover.
Consider using a tight-fitting toilet lid after use. This can help prevent mice from getting in or out of the toilet.
3. Cleanliness.
Make sure the bathroom and surrounding areas are kept clean and tidy. Leftover food or droppings can attract mice to come closer.
4. Use mouse bait.
If you already have a problem with mice coming out of the toilet, you can use mouse bait to attract them out. However, make sure to place the mouse bait in a place that is safe and protected from children or pets.
5. Consult a professional.
If the problem persists, consult a pest control professional. They can provide further advice and help find a solution that suits your situation.
Make sure to choose a solution that suits the specific needs and conditions in your home. If you are unsure about the steps to take, it is better to ask for help from an expert.
