It turns out there is a “cheap and easy” way to stop rats and mice from becoming an infestation, and all you need is a handful of natural items you likely already have at home.

Rats and mice tend to burrow inside homes during the winter to survive the cold, and it can be alarming to see these pesky rodents scurrying around in search of food.

Many people can decide to lay down traps or poison to try get rid of rodents but this can be extremely risky if there will be any pets or children coming into your home during the holiday season.

David, a pest controlexpert from Eliminate Solutions, has shared that instead one of the most effective ways to drive rats or mice away is to overwhelm their sense of smell…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

He explained: “Mice are very sensitive to smell. The reason for this is that they have a poor sense of vision so their other senses must be heightened in order for them to survive.

“If you want to repel mice from an area, you will need to use strong scents that will overpower their sense of s UK mell.”

Having powerful smells in an area can confuse rodents and make it much more difficult for them to find food so they are less likely to stay on your property.

Not only will strong scents overwhelm and disorientate them but can also affect their ability to smell out predators so they both rats and mice will weary of staying in the same place too long.

What smells do rats and mice hate?

Pineapple juice

This may seem unusual but pineapple juice not only has a strong smell but is acidic and contains compounds that rodents will find extremely irritating if placed near their nest.

All you need to do is soak some cotton balls in pineapple juice and put them in areas where rodents have been spotted around your home.

David said: “You can also put a couple of tablespoons in a spray bottle full of water and spray down areas where they’ve been seen before using other methods. This is not only very effective but it’s also cheap and easy.”

Peppermint oil

Peppermint oil is one of the most popular natural solutions to get rid of rodents as it contains menthol, which gives it a powerful scent that can make both rats and mice uncomfortable.

David said: “Peppermint oil is effective at keeping mice away because they dislike the smell of menthol.

“When mice come across the scent of this essential oil, they associate it with danger and fear. As a result, they’ll avoid areas where it’s present or try to stay away from it as much as possible.” READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Like with pineapple juice, simply coat peppermint oil in cotton balls or pour it into an empty spray bottle, then use it around your home if you suspect rodents are nesting.

However, it should be noted that peppermint oil, like most essential oils, is harmful to pets if they come into contact with it so you should avoid this solution if you own cats or dogs.

Lavender

If you want a solution that not only works but makes your home look beautiful then consider buying a lavender plant as its highly fragrant scent will also overwhelm rodents.

David said: “If you want to keep mice away, then one of the best things you can do is plant lavender plants in your garden or have some in your house.

“Mice hate the smell of lavender and will avoid it at all costs! If there’s a lot of lavender around your home, then you’re less likely to have problems with mice coming inside.”

Many strong-smelling herbs such as eucalyptus, rosemary and thyme also work as a natural deterrent to keep rodents away if you want to have a beautiful but practical houseplant display in your home.

Cayenne pepper or chilli powder

You should consider having a lot at your spice rack as both cayenne pepper and chilli powder can be used due to their strong spicy scent.

David said: “This is an effective home remedy for getting rid of mice because it smells terrible to them and they won’t stay around long enough for their sense of smell to become accustomed to it.

“Simply sprinkle some chilli powder in areas where you suspect there may be mice, such as behind cupboards or under furniture.”

It is better to mix the solution with water in a spray bottle instead of scattering the spices around your home as it can risk the powder going into the rodents’ eyes which can be considered cruel due to how much it will distress them.

Both cayenne pepper and chilli powder contain capsaicin, a compound which will greatly irritate mice or rats if they smell it so it will drive them away without causing the animals harm.

According to the court documents, the 20-year-old defendant, Christopher, pleaded guilty to ra-ing one young girl and se-ually abusing three others over the course of a year.

But, unfortunately,, thanks to the judge’s sympathy, he won’t even set foot inside of a prison cell for any of his crimes. The victims of the defendant are tormented by the fact that their se-ual abuser will not be jailed for his actions. The defendant was formally charged with first-degree ra-e, third-degree ra-e, and se-ual abuse involving multiple minors when he was only 17 years old.

The abuse occurred over the course of a year at his home. He later pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree se* abuse, third-degree attempted abuse, and third-degree ra-e.

Per reports, Judge Murphy said in front of Belter and his victims that he agonized over whether or not to imprison the rapist. He then announced that Belter would receive no jail time and just eight years of probation for his crimes because jailing him wouldn’t be an appropriate sentence…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Judge Murphy went on to say that he came to his decision based on the ra-ist’s age at the time of the crimes. The defendant was 16 or 17 when he ra-ed a teen girl and se-ually abused three others, whose ages ranged from 15 to 16 years. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“I agonized — I’m not ashamed to say that I actually prayed over what is the appropriate sentence in this case. because there was great pain. There was great harm — There were multiple crimes committed in the case,” Judge Murphy explained. “It seems to me that a sentence that involves incarceration or partial incarceration isn’t appropriate, so I am going to sentence you to probation.” Although the defendant is required to register as a se* offender, he received a sentence of two years interim probation which, if completed, will earn him Youthful Offender status. His probation restrictions include no contact with minors, living with his parents, employment or full-time student status, and no internet. “It’s going to be like a sword hanging over your head for the next eight years,” Judge Murphy remarked.

Christopher’s victims learned in court that he would receive no jail time. Understandably, they were stunned and disgusted with the judge’s decision.

One of the victim’s attorneys attributed the merciful sentence to Christopher’s race and economic status. “I am deeply, deeply disappointed. I expected a different outcome today,” declared Cohen, attorney. “Justice was not done today. He is privileged. He comes from money. He is white. He was sentenced as an adult, appropriately — for an adult to get away with these crimes is unjust.”

She was brought into the court in a wheelchair, where she requested ‘the unexpexted’. Among the many people who commented about this incident, one person remarked: “Give her what she wants.”

Per reports, the 50-year-old woman reportedly said: “I want the death penalty. Lethal injection, please.

The woman then spent the rest of the day digging a grave, stopping when she became exhausted. She later went to a neighbor’s house to say her mother had died, with the neighbor calling 911 to request a welfare check. When police arrived, they found the victim’s body in the bedroom and a hole in the ground several feet deep.

Police reviewed Asenka’s phone to discover she had taken photos after her mother’s killing, including injuries to her hands and arms that she allegedly sustained during ther fight. Prosecutors noted that the victim had obtained a restraining order against Asenka last year and filed to renew it, but the order was dropped when they didn’t appear at the court hearing. Asenka’s attorney argued that his client was afraid of her mother because of the alleged abuse, but a friend of the victim that the older woman was very petite and said she had talked about her daughter’s mental health problems.

Among the many people who commented about the murder case, one person remarked: “Give her what she wants. I know they can do it and quickly because years ago a man who had killed and abused two boys asked to be hanged and he was within the year.” Another commenter added: “How sweet of her to tell the court what she wants. Her mother didn’t have a choice and I presume she didn’t want to be murdered. Let her go crazy and rot in a cell.” One commenter agreed, noting: “Too easy! Let her suffer for the rest of her life for what she did. I suspect the wheelchair is a prop!”
