12 Ingenious Methods to Keep Rats and Mice Out of Your Home
Dealing with rats and mice can be distressing. Beyond the damage they cause, these tiny pests carry germs and viruses that pose a serious health risk. If left unchecked, they can quickly become a significant problem. Fortunately, there are several clever and effective strategies to keep them at bay.
Effective Strategies to Prevent Mice and Rats:
1. Baking Soda Trick:

2. Predatory Scents:
