Mouse Repellent: 7 Natural Tips to Keep Mice Out of Your Home (Matches & Tomato Hack Included!)

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water.
Wipe down floors, countertops, and areas where mice may roam.
4. Bay Leaves
Scatter a few bay leaves in cupboards, pantry corners, or under appliances. The smell confuses and repels mice, and they’ll avoid chewing on them.

5. Steel Wool + Cayenne Pepper
Block small holes or gaps with steel wool, then sprinkle cayenne pepper around it. Mice can’t chew through steel wool, and the pepper adds an irritating deterrent.

6. Cloves or Clove Oil
Place whole cloves in small sachets or soak cotton balls in clove essential oil and set them near baseboards, under sinks, and in cabinets. The strong aroma keeps mice away.

7. Onions
Slice up an onion and place it in areas where you suspect mice activity. Replace every few days, as the smell fades.

Final Tip:
Combine several of these natural methods for maximum effect. Keep your home clean, seal food tightly, and block any small entry points!

No traps, no toxins — just nature doing the work to keep your home mouse-free! 🐭🚫🌿
