Are unwanted rats and mice causing a ruckus in your home? Say goodbye to harsh chemicals and opt for a simple, natural remedy using Colgate toothpaste and tomatoes.
Rodents are repelled by the strong minty compounds in Colgate toothpaste, creating an unwelcoming environment with its minty scent. Tomatoes, on the other hand, with their natural acidity and scent, deter rodents effectively, encouraging them to seek shelter elsewhere.
How to Use Colgate & Tomato to Repel Rats & Mice
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp of mint-flavored Colgate toothpaste
- 1 ripe tomato (mashed or blended)
- Optional: 1 tsp of baking soda for an extra boost
Instructions:
- Mix the Ingredients: Blend the toothpaste, mashed tomato, and baking soda into a thick paste.
- Strategic Application: Place small amounts of the mixture in areas frequented by rodents such as under cabinets, near holes, or dark corners.
- Regular Refresh: Reapply the blend every 2-3 days to maintain a strong scent barrier.
Additional Tips for Rodent Control
- ✅ Ensure food is securely sealed and stored.
- ✅ Promptly clean up crumbs and spills.
- ✅ Seal small holes and entry points with steel wool or caulk to prevent rodent entry.
This natural pest control method is not only effective but also safe, budget-friendly, and free from harsh chemicals. Give it a go in your home and witness the impressive results firsthand!
