This makes peppermint oil, chili powder, citronella, and eucalyptus the most common natural rodent repellents. Chemical smells, such as ammonia, bleach, and mothballs also work as mice deterrents.
It turns out that baking soda catalyzes some form of reaction inside the rat's stomach. Baking soda combines with the stomach acids to produce carbon dioxide gas which rats are unable to tolerate. In turn, it builds up within their system and eventually causes internal blockage and rupture.
Rats cannot tolerate smells such as ammonia, mothballs, peppermint oil, crushed cayenne pepper, and pepper spray due to their intensified sense of smell. Clean and uncluttered homes and yards scare rats due to the lack of food and places to hide, as well.
Block off all entrances into walls and destroy all nesting material. Remove food and eliminate water sources such as leaky taps, open water troughs, sweating pipes and open drains. Reduce feed spillage and dispose of any dead animal carcasses. Keep all feeds in metal hoppers or covered cans.
If the rat poison is positioned outdoors ensure it is placed behind boards or tiles leant against a wall or inside a length of pipe, to ensure no other wildlife or children can access it. Do not place rat poison where food, feed or water could become contaminated.
Information for Rats in the Garden
There is no better way to dealing with rats outside than to use rat poison in a bait form. The important consideration is, where to place the bait and ensure it does not threaten non target animals, ie: the neighbour's cat.
Unquestionably poison is the most effective way of dealing with a rat infestation. Poison is obtainable at garden and farm supply stores. The best method is to put the poison in a series of rat boxes and place them between their holes and their food or water source or where there are signs of droppings.
A good way to control pest rodents is to maintain good hygiene and eliminate possible food, water and shelter sources for them. Pest control operators will usually use rodenticides to control pest rodents.
When placing bait stations outside, consider all areas where bait should be placed such as wood piles, storage sheds and fence rows. They should be placed about 50 feet apart around buildings or along landscaped areas surrounding buildings. Secure poison bait blocks on rods inside of the bait box.
Vinegar has an unpleasant smell and if used in the pipes and u-bend it may temporarily keep them away. It can sting and would be unpleasant for the rat. Any strong smell may be enough to deter a rodent as it will make them wary that something has changed in the environment.
Imbibing cotton balls with vinegar is one of the most effective ways to use vinegar as a repellent. Simply place a handful of cotton balls in white vinegar, let them soak, and then place them wherever you've noticed rat droppings, smear marks or activity.
The smell of ammonia is very pungent that it instantly kills rats.
Rats prefer to hide in places that are tucked out of the way and that aren't often disturbed. Outdoors they will hide under piles of debris, under trash piles, in dumpsters and trash cans, in trees, and in sewers. They can also be found under bushes and shrubs, in woodpiles, and in gutters.
Rats nest in the garden – often they will build nests under the foundations of sheds, green houses or garages. Brown rats in particular will dig rat holes in overgrown areas of a garden to create rat burrows where they will nest, store food and raise young rats.
