2. Garlic Powder for Mice
- Why It Works: Mice are highly sensitive to strong odors, and garlic’s potent smell is a natural deterrent. Garlic powder or crushed garlic can effectively disrupt mice’s navigation skills and discourage them from entering certain areas.
- How to Use:
- Ingredients: Garlic powder or crushed garlic cloves.
- Preparation: Simply sprinkle garlic powder in areas where you have seen mice, such as around food storage areas, entry points, or along the edges of your home’s foundation. Alternatively, you can crush fresh garlic and scatter it in the same areas.
- Application: Focus on high-traffic areas for rodents, such as near holes, cracks, and food storage areas. For more precision, you can place garlic in small mesh bags or pouches and hang them in specific areas.
- Benefits: Garlic powder is easy to apply and acts as a natural repellent, making it an economical and safe solution for homes with young children or pets.
3. Garlic Pouches for Wardrobes
- Why It Works: Garlic can be an effective solution for repelling moths and other pests that infest wardrobes. Its strong odor confuses and repels insects, keeping your clothes and fabrics safe from damage.
- How to Use:
- Ingredients: 3-4 garlic cloves, small cloth pouches or breathable fabric bags.
- Preparation: Peel the garlic cloves and crush them lightly to release their oils. Place the crushed garlic inside small pouches or breathable fabric bags. Tie the pouches closed.
- Application: Hang these garlic pouches in your wardrobe or place them in drawers, under your bed, or in other areas where pests might hide.
- Benefits: Garlic pouches are a safe, non-toxic solution to preventing infestations in closets and wardrobes. They are easy to place, leave no mess, and act as a natural barrier against moths and other fabric-damaging pests.
