Brilio.net - Rats are household pests that often cause problems. In addition to damaging goods and stealing food, rats also carry various dangerous diseases that can threaten the health of the family.
One of the biggest threats comes from rat urine, which can contain leptospira bacteria that cause leptospirosis, a disease that attacks the human liver and kidneys. In addition, dried rat urine and droppings can mix with the air, carrying viruses such as hantavirus, which can cause serious respiratory problems.
A number of methods are used to eradicate mice, from glue traps to poison. However, there is a simple trick that can be done without using hazardous materials, simply by mixing several easy-to-find kitchen ingredients.
Reported from the YouTube channel TUKANG AB, there is a powerful potion that can make mice run away without having to buy expensive medicine. This mixture uses three main ingredients, namely detergent, pepper, and camphor.
The first ingredient that needs to be prepared is powdered detergent. Rats really avoid detergent because its texture is hot and can cause irritation to their skin.
"Detergent is one of the powders that rats avoid the most. If it touches our hands, it feels hot, let alone if it touches rats," he said.

The second ingredient is pepper or pepper powder. The spicy aroma of pepper is very pungent to the sense of smell of mice, making them uncomfortable around the area sprinkled with this mixture.
"You can use instant pepper or grind it yourself. It smells really spicy, so the mice will immediately run away," he explained.

The last ingredient used is camphor. In addition to being used to repel cockroaches and insects, camphor is also very effective in keeping mice away from the house.
To make this concoction, first pour the powdered detergent into a container as needed. After that, add the pepper powder and stir until evenly mixed so that the spicy aroma spreads even more.
The next step, the camphor is crushed into a fine powder. After that, mix it into the detergent and pepper mixture, then stir until all the ingredients are combined.
"After mixing it together like this, this powder can be used directly to eradicate rats," he said.

In addition to being sprinkled, this concoction can also be made in liquid form by mixing it with water. After stirring evenly, strain the mixture so as not to clog the sprayer, then spray it in places where mice often pass.
"If you use the spray method, it is more practical and does not leave any powder residue. It is only wet and is still effective in making mice run away," he added.
This trick can be an easy solution for anyone who wants to repel mice without using dangerous poisons. With cheap and easy-to-find ingredients, the house is free from mouse disturbances.
