Most homes have pest problems of their own. Some are lucky enough to just get a minor problem with ants, while others have to deal with rodent infestations, specifically mice. This can be a problem since they actually destroy parts of your home, and they could carry diseases. Here are a couple of tools that can help you get rid of them.
1. Essential Oil Diffuser
If your mice problem is not that serious yet, you can always opt for minor solutions like making sure your home smells like the scents they don't like. For instance, mice can't stand the strong smell of peppermint oils, so you can just use a diffuser to drive them away.
This particular diffuser has a huge 500mL tank, so you won't have to refill it often. The noise it makes is just below 23 decibels so it won't be much of a disturbance. It comes with a remote control. Not only will your space smell amazing, it could be the solution to your problem as well.
2. Ultrasonic Pest Repeller
If the diffuser doesn't work, you might want to resort to other means that are specifically made to repel unwanted furry guests. An ultrasonic pest repeller might just do the trick. It emits a high-frequency noise that you won't be able to hear, but the mice will hate.
The Sroker Repeller comes in a pack of six so you can plug it in different areas of your home. This is a good alternative if you have kids around and don't want to use any chemicals to drive pests away. The downside is, it might also irk pets like cats and dogs.
3. Electronic Mouse Trap
If the repelling methods still don't work, then you can resort to catching them instead. The Victor mouse trap uses a trigger plate that immediately closes the trap and prevents the rodents from escaping it. It is also a fast way to exterminate the pests.
Other mouse traps result in the prolonged suffering of the animal, while the electronic mouse trap zaps them with a high-voltage surge, instantly killing them. The product shows a green LED light when it does catch a mouse, and you can easily discard the mice through a chamber.
4. Spray Gun
If you would rather just drive them away instead of zapping them, and you've had no luck with the diffuser, you can always spray the hot spots directly using scents that would deter the mice. You can even use organic liquids if you're still avoiding chemicals.
It's also a good way to make sure that they don't come back. All you have to do is spray the areas of your home that the rodents tend to nest in or go through. Just make sure that you do so regularly since the scent will eventually go away.
Since it's handheld and portable, you'll have an easier way to reach the places that you need to apply the scent to. All you have to do is charge it for two hours, and you can use it continuously for 30 minutes on low and 20 minutes on high mode.
