Brilio.net - Rats are often very annoying pests in the kitchen and home, because they are quite disturbing and potentially dangerous. The presence of rats can damage stored food, gnaw on packaging, and leave droppings that can contaminate food supplies.
In addition, rats are also known as carriers of various serious diseases, such as leptospirosis and hantavirus which can endanger the health of the occupants of the house. Rats are very agile and good at hiding, making them difficult to detect and eradicate. Rats often take advantage of small gaps, holes in the walls, or even pipes to enter the house.
In the kitchen , mice can easily find food sources, such as leftovers on the floor, crumbs in the corners, or food that is not stored properly. This makes the kitchen a favorite place for mice to find food and breed. Overcoming the problem of mice requires an effective and sustainable strategy.

Basically, mice have a very sensitive sense of smell. The strong smell of lime leaves, vinegar, and eucalyptus oil can disturb them, making them reluctant to approach these areas. Meanwhile, salt has the ability to absorb moisture and make the environment less comfortable for mice.
Placing salt around areas where mice often come, such as corners of the room, near doors, or along walls can keep mice away from those places. Since being uploaded on November 19, the video about this mouse extermination trick has received more than 1 million views. Many Instagram users are happy with this pest control trick.
