Brilio.net - Rats are rodents that often infiltrate homes. Their presence is usually driven by the need to find food, water, and shelter. However, rats do not only seek resources, but also often cause damage by gnawing or biting food supplies and household furniture.
In addition to causing physical damage, rats are also known as carriers of dangerous diseases, one of which is the plague. According to information from cdc.gov, this disease is caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis which is carried by fleas that live on the bodies of rats. Infection in humans can occur through the bite of a rat flea or the bite of an infected rat, raising concerns about the spread of the disease.
To prevent the spread of disease and reduce the rat population, many people use traps as a solution. Although traps can help catch rats, this method is not always effective in preventing the arrival of new rats. As an alternative, a simple method like the one shared by YouTube user TEGUH UTOMO KITCHEN can be tried. In one of his videos, he reveals how to repel rats using easily found kitchen ingredients.
"So when I tried this method, it was very effective," explained YouTube TEGUH UTOMO KITCHEN.

Once smooth, add a little water and stir again until the chili dissolves. Next, transfer the chili water to a container. Then pour the water again until it fills the container.

Well, this container filled with chili water can be placed in areas of the house that are often visited by mice, such as the kitchen or dining area. In the video, YouTube user TEGUH UTOMO KITCHEN explains more about the function and how this chili water works to repel mice.
"Why do I use chili water? Because mice usually drink in the morning, afternoon, or evening. Well, they will look for a place to drink when they are thirsty. If they drink this chili water, they will get spicy and leave our house," he explained further.
