Step 3: Place the Lemon-Scented Cotton Balls
Place the soaked cotton balls or cloth pieces in areas where you’ve seen rodent activity or potential entry points, like near doorways, windows, and behind appliances. The scent will act as a natural barrier, deterring mice and rats from entering your home.
Step 4: Reapply as Needed
The lemon scent will fade over time, so refresh the cotton balls every few days or when the scent diminishes to maintain ongoing protection against pests.
Additional Tips:
For enhanced effectiveness, place lemon peels in drawers, cabinets, and other areas where rodents might hide. This not only keeps your home smelling fresh but also further discourages rodents from settling in.
By using lemons, you can maintain a rodent-free home without the need for harmful chemicals or traps. This natural solution is safe for both you and your pets, making it an excellent choice for keeping pests away. Give it a try – in just five minutes, you can say goodbye to mice and rats!
