How to Keep Rats Out of Your House with Natural Ingredients
Learn how to keep rats out of your house after trapping them, using onion slices, baking soda, tea bags and mint, plus Cap Gajah glue and snap traps.
Rats are one of the animals people hunt most often. The reason is that rats are often found inside homes and cause a lot of damage, such as chewing through household property. You can try catching rats at home with a Cap Gajah rat trap, which traps rats effectively. Then take the following preventive steps.
Keeping Rats From Coming Back with Natural Ingredients
- Onion Slices
Once you have caught a rat with a Cap Gajah product, you need to take preventive action so rats cannot come back into your house. Onion turns out to be one natural ingredient you can use to keep rats from returning, because this kitchen staple is something rats find revolting. According to research, rats simply do not like the smell of onion.
So you can use onion slices to keep rats from coming back into your house. Place the slices in areas that used to serve as hiding places or that the rodents often visit. The animals will not dare to enter places where you have put onion slices.
- Baking Soda
Besides onion slices, you can also use baking soda to keep rats from coming back after you have caught them at home with a Cap Gajah rat trap. To use it, mix a sprinkling of baking soda into food that rats are after. The rat's body will bloat because it cannot release the gas from the baking soda.
- Tea Bags
Tea bags you already have at home can also be used to keep rats away naturally. The peppermint in tea bags irritates a rat's nose when it breathes it in, so the rat's sense of smell will not work properly. You can place several tea bags near the entry points rats use.
- Mint Leaves
Mint leaves are another option for keeping rats away, because they have a sharp scent that can leave rats limp when they breathe it in. To use them, prepare a bunch of mint leaves, dissolve them in water and extract the essence. Once dissolved, spray the resulting mint liquid on the areas the rodents use as entry points.
By spraying mint liquid, you can keep rats from coming back to your house. Before taking these preventive steps, make sure you have already caught the rats at home and thrown them far away from your residence. Only then should you carry out these preventive steps to keep the rats from returning.
You can use a Cap Gajah rat glue trap, which catches rats with very sticky glue so they cannot move or escape. Or you can use a Cap Gajah mechanical snap trap, which clamps the rat tightly. Once you succeed, throw the rat far away from your house while wearing gloves so you do not catch the various bacteria rats carry.
