A mouse deterrent that is all natural and easy to use.

You can also find mouse deterrent methods which are all natural. Some natural oils which are preferred for getting rid of mice are peppermint, spearmint, and mint. Use a piece of cotton to absorb the natural oil and throw them into places where you have seen mice or mice droppings. The scent drives them away. Soaked cotton balls need to be replaced on a monthly basis to keep mice from coming back. There are also prepackaged bags that allow air flow that have a mixture of spearmint and peppermint oil. All you need to do is toss them in the chosen areas like the cotton balls. Once again, replace monthly.

Mouse deterrent options available to choose from.

There are actually quite a few mouse deterrent methods on the market. There are types that you plug in or ones that are all natural. It is up to you to pick out the one that you would like to use.

There is an electronic mouse deterrent which needs to be plugged into your wall outlet. It runs on 120 volts so almost any electric outlet will work. These do the job a couple of different ways. One of the ways is to emit an ultrasonic high frequency which annoys the mouse so much that they leave. It produces a frequency between 30 to 60 kHz and never repeats the same one. The mouse can't get used to the frequency and simply becomes distressed. Another way uses the electrical wiring in the walls. This way the electromagnetic field created by the electrical wiring is vibrated by the device. These vibrations vary and change constantly so the mouse is unable to get used to them, but get aggravated and go away. Typically one device of either kind can take care of one floor of a house.

Using poison as a rat killer.

Poison is effective as a rat killer, but its use is actually somewhat limited. Rat poison is not to be used near little children or house pets. Also, the trouble with poison is that when the rat dies, it usually dies someplace where you can't find it. So rats have a tendency to die in the walls, attic, or ceiling and all you can do is notice the nasty odor but are unable to find the body.

Clean things up for your rat killer to work right.

First off, cleanup or dispose of what is actually attracting them. Clean up garbage that is left out, close up your trash containers, and put away food or organic material which would bring in rats. If you happen to live outside of the city, a cat can be a good addition as it is a natural rat killer.

The second course of action is to seal up your home. No matter what rat killer method you choose to get rid of rats, it is useless if additional rats can come into your house to replace them. Perform a thorough inspection from the bottom level all the way to the top of your house. Look for gaps and openings in the sides of your house and crawl space. Also check out the eaves below the roof. Seal off these little holes and gaps with steel mesh to be able to keep rats out.
