Pepperment oil does not work. I put a lot of it on a cotton ball an place it between a very small crack where the mice were entering. The mice crawled right between the crack and the pepperment oil. It does not work and its to expensive for a very small bottle.

Although lime has not been proven to keep rats away, some natural methods like growing mint or citronella plants in your garden has been suggested as an effective way to keep rats away from your home. Peppermint oil can also be used as a deterrent, as well as raw sweet potato, which is actually poisonous to rats. However, if you have a serious infestation its probably best to call an exterminator.

Hi I have used peppermint oil for a year now to keep fiel mice away. They come up from the basement to the main house every August for some reason. By diluting 2 table spoons of peppermint oil with 2 cups of water in a spray bottle, and spraying all the areas nice use to come into the house, I have been able to keep them away. I read in many postings that mice get actually sick by the scent of peppermint, thus they avoid getting anywhere near. They recommend once every 2 weeks spray to keep them away, but if you are deailing with an infestation, I have used it once every 2 days. Plus the whole area smells very nice.
Yes pine straw can help keep certain pests away.

The best way to keep these rodents out is to spend the money on metal containers with metal lids to keep your feed in. Poison is not advised because it may contaminate the feed no matter how careful you are with it. Cats are a good idea, they have been rat catchers since who knows when. But you have to keep the cat hungry enough to want to catch the rats.
no because the rats are probably finding a different way in like a hole in the wall or something. you should lock your doors anyway, but that's probably not going to keep out rats.
Lots of things. But please don't use poison. Find any other way but don't harm they be vermin but they are creatures and they don't really carry diseases anymore. Also, if you are discussing a garage or outside building, good old fashioned cats are really the best deterrent. Not just them catching the rats but their scent also tends to make the mouse and rat vacate.
