Best Rodent Repellent – Buyer’s Guide

Most electronic repellers emit only ultrasound – usually, these are low-cost, low-power models for small rooms. More expensive models can target both rodents and pests with electromagnetic radiation, ultrasound, and flashes of light. And, although it is possible to eliminate rodents with just one ultrasound. A combination of a few methods of exposure at once will give the best result, especially for large rooms.
It is necessary to remember that ultrasound cannot penetrate walls and floors, therefore a separate device will be required for each room. Ultrasound is well reflected from a solid surface (wood, concrete, glass) and is also well absorbed by soft surfaces – such as curtains, upholstered furniture, carpets, food bags. Therefore, it is important to turn on the rat repeller in the most empty room – this way it will work better.

Mice are more sensitive to sounds and chatter. Ultrasonic, magnetic resonance, and electromagnetic rodent repellent devices are based on what sounds rats are afraid of. The equipment is designed to generate waves that are captured by rodents. The resulting sound irritates and repels parasites.
Also, mice hate the smells of burnt tires, burnt fluff or wool, naphthalene and kerosene. They are sensitive to the following plants: mint, elderberry, cilantro, daffodils, calendula, and tomato leaves.

Using odor repellants is the safest, most humane, and the cheapest way to get rid of rats. Correctly selected odors of repellents will help drive rats’ families out of their homes and prevent them from returning.
They do not stand plant odors of mint, wormwood, elderberry, chamomile, feverfew, and even tansy. As for spices, mice hate coriander and cilantro. The principle of using all these plants is simple and straightforward: it is enough to decompose fresh or dried parts of the plants in the places, where the rodents are accumulated. Scents should be replaced with new ones every few days.

The most popular way to use peppermint oil is to mix it in a spray bottle:

• mint essential oil – 13-16 drops;

• water – 350-450 ml;

• alcohol – 15 ml.

Shake the mixture thoroughly and spread it over the places where rodents might live.

One procedure will not cause that much effect from the first time, so you should repeat it 2-3 times a week for 1 month and the rodents will leave you.

We also offer another way to apply peppermint oil in order to remove rodents.

Prepare a few cotton pads or pieces of cotton wool and moisten them with a mixture of essential peppermint oil and water. Then put a cotton pad in the place of the rodents’ outings, and seal it with tape, so that the smell does not actively spread into the apartment.

Several species of birds are considered good rodent repellents. Most often, these are birds of prey – eagles, falcons, hawks. Owls and seagulls also effectively help in the fight against rodents.

Most often, manufacturers produce this kind of rat repellent in the form of granules soaked in fox urine. This smell is a natural repeller for rodents because, in the wild, foxes are natural enemies of rats, mice, and other rodents. Spread the granules around the area and building from which you need to expel the rodents, and they will leave your area very soon.
