Peppermint Oil Spray or Cotton Balls
Soak cotton balls in peppermint oil and place them near entry points, cupboards, or places where mice are seen. Refresh every few days to keep the scent strong. Alternatively, mix 10-15 drops of peppermint oil with water in a spray bottle and spray around baseboards and corners.
Use Ultrasonic Pest Repellers
Plug in ultrasonic devices that emit high-frequency sounds imperceptible to humans but disturbing to mice. Use in rooms prone to infestation. Effectiveness varies, so combine with other methods.
Seal Entry Points
Use steel wool or wire mesh to block holes, cracks, and gaps around doors, windows, pipes, and vents to prevent mice from entering.
Maintain Cleanliness
Clean regularly with vinegar to remove food odors that attract mice. Keep food stored in sealed containers and remove clutter that provides hiding spots.
Use Mothballs Sparingly
Place mothballs in areas inaccessible to pets and children, as their strong smell can repel mice but is toxic if ingested.
