Brilio.net - Rats are often a problem in the home because these rodents can damage food, electrical cables, and become a source of disease. Knowing effective ways to repel rats is essential to maintaining the cleanliness and health of the home.

According to the CDC, rats can transmit a variety of diseases through direct contact with their droppings, urine, bites, and saliva. In addition, food contaminated by rat waste can also be a source of disease. Some diseases that can be transmitted by rats include leptospirosis, tularemia, and salmonellosis.

Many people try to get rid of mice by using poison or traps that kill mice. However, these methods are not always effective and can be dangerous for pets.

Don't worry, there are still natural ways that you can try to repel mice with safe ingredients. TikTok @tipspaman shares a surefire trick to scare mice with ingredients found in the kitchen.

This trick only requires two ingredients, namely shallots and pepper powder. The method is quite easy and does not take much time.

Just take one clove of red onion, then cut it into small pieces. After that, prepare a small container and put the pieces of red onion into it, then add enough pepper powder. Don't forget to add a little water so that the mixture can spread its aroma more easily.

The combination of red onion and pepper powder produces a very sharp and pungent odor, which is disliked by mice. This aroma disturbs the sense of smell of mice, so they will immediately move away from the place.

Place this mixture around areas where mice often pass, such as in the kitchen, corners of the house, or near doors that mice access to enter. This way, mice will be reluctant to linger around the house.

In addition to using this trick, make sure to also close all gaps or holes around the house, because mice often enter through small gaps. Doors and windows should also be tightly closed, and do not leave food open that can attract mice.
