Effective Scents To Keep Mice Away From Your HomeÂ
Â
No one wants mice in their home. Not only are they unsightly, but they can also damage furniture and other items, contaminate food with their droppings, and spread harmful bacteria around your home. But how do you keep them away? Is there a scent that will keep them away for good? Let’s take a closer look at the scents that can effectively repel mice and prevent them from entering your home.Â
Â
What Scents Repel Mice?Â
Mice have an incredible sense of smell, so it stands to reason that certain smells can be used to repel them. The most effective scents for keeping mice away include peppermint oil, catnip oil, cayenne pepper, cloves, garlic oil, and ammonia.
All of these scents are strong enough to make mice uncomfortable or even nauseous in large doses, which is why they tend to steer clear of homes that are using these scents as deterrents.Â

How To Use Scent Repellants EffectivelyÂ
If you want to use scent repellants effectively in your home, you’ll need to understand where and how to apply them. Since mice tend to stick close to walls when traveling through space (to remain hidden), it’s best if you apply the repellant right along the walls in the areas where you think mice might enter your home.
Â
For example, if there are any cracks or crevices near windows or doors where small rodents could potentially enter your space from outside, those would be ideal locations for applying scent repellant.
Â
Additionally, if you have any pantries or cupboards where food is stored, it’s a good idea to place some of the repellants inside those spaces as well – just make sure that whatever container you use is sealed tightly!Â
Â
Additionally, it’s important not to use too much of any one particular scent – especially ones like cayenne pepper or ammonia – as this could potentially make humans uncomfortable as well!
Â
Instead, focus on using small amounts of multiple different scents throughout your home to create an overall odor that will be unpleasant for mice but tolerable for people living in the space.    Â
