Rats and mice will not enter your house if they smell this odor.

Start by cutting the lemon zest and garlic into small pieces. These two ingredients, with a strong smell, are known to be effective in repelling mice.
Place the grated lemon zest and garlic pieces in a clean, dry jar. This bottle serves as the base for our natural repellent.

Add a tablespoon of ground coffee to the glass. The smell of coffee is also unpleasant to mice. Next, add whole cloves to the jar. Cloves give off a specific odor that deters rodents.
Finally, add vinegar to the glass. Vinegar has a strong odor that mice find unpleasant and keeps them away.
Close the jar tightly and let it sit for 48 hours. Shake the jar occasionally to ensure that the ingredients are well mixed and the odors are completely released.
After the rest of the time, strain the liquid from the bottle and pour it into a spray bottle. This is your ready-to-use repellent.
Spray the liquid on areas where you suspect mice are entering your home, such as door bases, windows, pipe openings, attics, sheds, garages, etc. Mice and rats avoid these areas because of the unpleasant smell of the repellent.
With these simple steps, you have developed a natural and safe repellent to keep rats and mice away from your home. Make sure to use it regularly and consistently to keep your home free of these unwanted pests. Protect your space and enjoy the security that comes with a rodent-free home!
