How incense sticks repel mice
A simple solution to getting rid of mice lies in the use of incense sticks with intense scents. The essence of mint, lavender or eucalyptus does not smell to mice, which can be used as a natural repellent. Placing incense sticks in places where mice can enter the house is sufficient prevention. These scents make life unpleasant for mice, so they prefer to seek refuge elsewhere.
Natural repellants as a better alternative
Chemical agents often contain toxins that are harmful not only to mice, but also to pets and small children. Natural incense sticks are an alternative without negative side effects and at the same time add a pleasant atmosphere to the home. In addition, they are easily available and anyone can use them. Simply place the sticks where mice are likely to pass through – around doors, windows and other potential entry points.
More prevention tips
In addition to incense sticks, it is good to think of other ways to prevent mice from entering the home. Regular sealing of cracks and gaps in walls and around doors is an important prevention. You can also enrich a pleasant home with live plants with a repellent effect, for example mint or lavender, which also do not attract mice. In addition, cleanliness, regular cleaning of food remains and maintaining order around the house reduce the attractiveness of the area for mice.
Incense sticks with natural essences are therefore a great prevention against mice that seek warmth in homes in the cold months. Their strong smell deters mice from entering the house, and at the same time they add a pleasant atmosphere to the home.
Well, if there was nothing to be done and the mice would get into the house despite all the efforts, you can always use professional services. “We carry out extermination using special traps, which are called stations. These are boxes of different sizes with bait, which our workers appropriately place around the infested object. The bait soon attracts mice, and once they are caught in the baited trap, they are no longer able to get out,” experts from the extermination company reveal.
