First, cut the lemon peel and garlic into small pieces. These two strong-smelling ingredients are known to effectively repel mice.
Place the grated lemon peel and garlic pieces in a clean, dry jar. This bottle will serve as the base for our natural repellent.
Add a tablespoon of ground coffee to the pot. The smell of coffee is also unpleasant to mice. Next, add a few whole cloves to the jar. Cloves emit a specific scent that repels rodents.
Finally, add vinegar to the jar. Vinegar has a strong odor that mice find unpleasant and repel.
Close the jar tightly and let it stand for 48 hours. Shake the jar occasionally to ensure the ingredients are well mixed and the odors are fully released.
After the resting period, strain the liquid from the bottle and pour it into a spray bottle. This is your ready-to-use repellent.
Spray the liquid on areas where you suspect mice are entering your home, such as door frames, windows, pipe openings, attics, sheds, garages, etc. Mice and rats will avoid these areas due to the unpleasant odor of the repellent.
