7 SMELLS That MICE and RATS HATE 🐀❌ They Can't Stand Them! 

1. Urine of other animals (predators) 2. Hot sauce / chili peppers 3. Mint / menthol 4. Ammonia & chlorine 5. Perfumes & alcohol 6. Naphthaline 7. Vinegar You’re welcome.

I can confirm mothballs work very well. I have a shed I rebuilt last year, under which mice had gone crazy, and after replacing everything except the frame I stapled small bags of mothballs (purchased at Walmart) under the new floor. After one year I can still easily smell the mothballs when I'm near the shed and have seen no evidence of any mice!

I have successfully repelled mice using swimming pool granular chlorine. I buy a 3 lb pack in the discount store and put a tablespoon in a coffee cup lid near mouse droppings. The leftover can be used in your washing machine btw. Much cheaper than and equal to/ better than Chlorox.

Years ago I heard a noise in my kitchen. I looked into the kitchen and noticed the Paprika spice jar had fallen. A couple of nights later it happened again. The following night I put some Paprika on the counter and waited. I heard the noise and saw a field rat attracted to the Paprika. Next night I set the trap with Paprika. Got it! How strange! Never since had any issues!

Peppermint works. I have used it as a cheap solution.

All the mints, had a terrible problem seasonally in the city running in and out, due to a flourishing packed front garden of 8' tall, plate sized sunflowers--rodents thrive on the seeds--they HATE cinnamon (even little bundled if sticks tied and placed around), And so many potted herbs, a windowsill full of basil, sage, rosemary...but the macdaddy of all repellants, I saw them fleeing from under my kitchen out into the yard, to my utter shock: PEPPERMINT OIL SPRAY! It's not even poison (which I tried and had limited dangerous success (oh they eat the chunks in your house--you are looking for dead animal... not safe anywhere near a pet or child). The Gallon of peppermint oil spray around occasionally still if I see any signs. The granule packets last in strong smell about 2 months (the spray it again, a small 4"sq.pillow), 😂 threw a dozen up in my attic... GONE.

I had a jalapeño plant in my garden with lots of peppers ripening on it. I thought it was safe from garden mice, but I came out to check on it one day, and every pepper had been eaten up to the stem. It seems my wild southwestern mice enjoy chili peppers.

I have two cats an a Pitbull and they still show up in my apartment!! I have a neighbor that hoards and our building gets mice quite often. They don’t care about my pets at all sadly!

In addition to these, I'm pretty sure citrus is also a great repellent to rodents as well.

They also hate the smell of my 357 but I find the bullet holes annoying.

I have tried using Peppermint oil with some success. Problem is that you have respray the area frequently. Also, I heard mixing baking soda with corn meal will kill the mice and rats, but is not harmful to other animals.

Vicks vapor rub with Cayenne pepper diluted in a spray....MIC DROP

I had very hot chili peppers of different kinds, and the mice devoured them. They loved it. Maybe because they were so hungry I don’t know, but that definitely is not a deterrent..

Great.... I've been thinking how I have at bay ....." without aggression"... thanks for that in the Video.......jihia david

Mothballs and Dryer sheets.

I used ammonia peppermint oil and sonic blasting and no luck. Traps are best

Just a note for viewers- don't think that these smells or any others will drive rodents out of your house or attic or some space. Nothing works- light, sounds, smells, etc. Indoors is so much safer for rodents than anything else that they will not leave. The only reliable method to get them out is to close up access points and then trap the rodents. Bucket traps work very well and are pretty much the one reliable easy solution.

I could see mice tunneling in the insulation so I put moth balls in the holes and set traps. Before the moth balls, no mice. After the moth balls I am finding mice in the traps everywhere. It seems to attract them!

If you have a riding mower, Irish Spring Soap works at keeping them from building nests in your engine compartment.

Thank you for this helpful information, and God bless you!

is the vinegar one effective?

Pine sol

YOU SHOULD NOT, REPEAT, Not!!, put Chlorine and Ammonia 'Together' , EVER!! They are Two Chemicals that 'need distance' from each-other, so, please, ALSO SEPERATE Them on your 'List'!!! Look up the Combo of them to know 'Why', but, don't giggle too much, nor fall Asleep doing so!

Good Video, and Information

We use peppermint on cotton balls in our camper. & in my motorcycle bags.

Dryer fabric softener sheets. Rats hate 'em.

I'll have to remember the vinegar trick if I get anymore mice in the house, that seems pretty unlikely though having 2 cats that are great little hunters.

Bollocks rats and mice love living under dog kennels and I had a mice infestation and they used to come into the house through the mint patch

As Charlie Brown used to say... "RATS!"

The little white hamster sticking its nose out of a hole in a cardboard box is very cute 🥰

I am thankful for these information

What about cats, my neighbor takes in a lot of stray cats but they end up on the other neighbors property, I hate that they constantly jump on my vehicle and leave scratches and muddy paw prints not to mentioned urinating what can I use to keep them away?

Will it work if I put my corn snake poop in places they been seen?

Also Mint we grow so much of mint but they just can't seem to stay away

Dried chilli powder in a plastic container works fine for me. Cut a hole in the side . Buy a large bag out of the oriental supermarkets.

Hahaha i saw a video rats swimming & playing in dry chillies hahaha

Bay leaves

Help I have lived in my house for 6 years never have had a mouse/rat or whatever it they got in somehow I don’t no how Help I put peppermint and spearmint there not leaving think there only in wall at the moment

One time I took a leak on an ally, and when I was done and about to leave, I saw a mouse come out of nowhere and straight up drink my waste. That kind of disturbed me.

Best is moth balls! Ive used it for years!

My aunt cooks toungue and i hate the smell but i still visit her....lol no odor will make them leave. The just dont get that close. 😊

Khanate u thetha i…. Let us pray to protecting our kids & generations to come Vodooo is workings outside

Have a dog and a cat and neighbours cats hangout in our garden and still have mice in the garden and house

The best result I got was with peppermint essential oil on cotton balls.

I keep mint...

How timely! We just rescued a tiny mouse from drowning in a box in our back garden. He’s recuperating in a small pet carrier box now, past the worst of it. We’ll not release him until we’ve had advice from a wildlife charity up in Aberdeenshire first though.

Not one thing mentioned will repel mice or other rodents.

🐁 I’ll remember that 🐁

Have you done a video on cockroaches and the determents?

mint is bs I planted a mint plant and next day rats had eaten whole thing and even dug out roots

rats or mice still come around even with cats lol seen a cat playing with a mouse one day it was funny

That seal point mouse, is fairly cute?..

Humans hate the smell of naphthaline (moth balls) too. So...

Have you ever smelled moth balls? How did you get their little legs apart?

Chili pepper... Really???? We have had a mouse on our roof deck that harvested the chilies from the potted plants and dragged them across the deck in broad daylight and disappeared with the chili.... By the way, it was the hottest variety we had in the pots, nice bright red.

SCENTED DRYER SHEETS

I had rats eat every single one of my peppers on my jalapeno, serrano and habenero plants this summer. My rats are not built like other rats.

My cat handle's any thing like that 😂😂😂

They hate the smell of cat poop

used breath-freshening spray when I heard rodents behind the furniture and they soon moved out.

Shawn Woods youtube channel has debunked that hot peppers and moth balls repel mice and rats. Peppermint oil does work, however. I recommend his channel.

Cinnamon

I have pet rats. They like mint. I have a menthol vapostick for my nose, let my rat sniff it, she tried to steal it. My old boys would steal my peppermints and just stash them. Takes quite a bit of mint for them to dislike it.

baking soda and cheese mixed together and you got cat food mice and rats cannot pass gas

Antifreeze that hate it

The smell of my big badass Tom Cat!!!

Lead

hello, better liston, the Black death is coming from the fleas on the rats

Man these rats be getting to comfortable at home that they start climbing up my bed bruh i just poured alcohol and perfume at my bed hope thy dont try to get up anymore

Peppermint oil,rid ones home of those pest

Not one thing mentioned will repel mice.

'WHITE' Vinegar... Doh.

what the hell was that did not sure it working

I have tried every thing I've read on here😂

Mice have taste buds lol 😂 then electrical wiring in cars and tractors must be tasty. Who would have thought that?

I have snakes that take care of mice

There is another channel on youtube that dispels all of the myths you've heard.....Irish spring soap, peppermint oil, dryer sheets, mothballs, ect. With video proof. Ive heard Irish spring soap from dozens of folks. My wife has as well. She put bars in all the drawers of our camper, and the mice actually eat it. Don't fall for the BS. watch the videos for yourself.

Why would anybody wanna keep these Bottom Feeders as Pets tell me

Bounce doesn't work all the time

Spicy ? so, You dont know what Pain is.

Yeah no offence but spicy is not a problem to RATS ... If they did have a problem why won't they leave alone our chillies? We had our chillies dried out and we put it away but they always seem to just know how to get into it they eat It and mess it literally everywhere then I have to come and clean it

I'm so

Okay no I can't keep watching cause it's not helping and everything is false

Chip Monks do not the same trashy/garbage diet that rats and mice have.

Try getting a pet snake the snake will eat the mice

BULLSPIT... I have seen rats in the back yard , eating dinner WITH my dogs.

Got a dog. Got mint growing like crazy in my backyard. Won't use toxic anything in my house. I make my own perfumes using essential oils and carrier oils. Have to squirt alcohol outside because it attacks my lungs. My dog was a great ratter until he got neutered, now he couldn't give a shit.

❌️

#8 is gun powder

With out the cat there were mice With mice there was a big snake A snake that eats mice is nice A cats not at all a bad mistake If that cat will also will eat mice P.S. To Keep the Rats Away #VoteBlue

Please do not put any picture of the moce or rat anymore.i cant see

Raising pets at home is gross as it is, let alone having mice and rats as pets.. ewww.

Well, soon these critters will be responsible for helping spread Bubonic plague! Think about the fleas!

Get cats and do not feed them

Your pictures include rodents that are not rats or mice. If you're going to make a video on this subject you should at least know the know what rats and mice look like.

Farts work. Just fart in a jar close ot tight then when ready to use open lid

Bullshit.

You speak of repelling Mice and Rats, these being animals which are feral or wild, natural living creatures, BUT The featured PIC is of a DOMESTIC Color point GERBIL! I gave this VID a thumbs down for showing a domestic refined and bred PET as a pest!

Mice like drinking beer. Fact.

I’m gonna put some spicy curry outside the mouse hole in my garage👨‍🍳
