The best natural repellent against rats, mice and insects: easy, homemade and highly effective

Do you have problems with rats, mice, ants or cockroaches in your house or garden? Don’t resort to toxic chemicals! There is a natural, inexpensive and very powerful repellent that you can prepare at home with common kitchen ingredients. Its effectiveness has been proven for generations and will help you keep your home pest-free in a safe and eco-friendly way.
Ingredients you need
All the components of this recipe have intense aromas that pests hate, but that are pleasant for people:
- 2 tablespoons dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 20 cloves
- 300 ml 9% white vinegar
How to prepare it?
Step 1: Initial Mix
In a glass jar or container with a lid, place the rosemary, cinnamon, cloves, and vinegar. Stir to integrate all the ingredients.
Step 2: Standby Time
Cover the container tightly and leave it in a dark, cool place for 21 days. This time is necessary for the ingredients to release all their properties and concentrate in a powerful solution.
Step 3: Filtering and packaging
After 21 days, strain the liquid with a thin cloth or filter and transfer it to a spray bottle. You now have your natural repellent ready to use.
How is it applied?
Spray the repellent on:
- Dark, damp corners where you’ve seen rats or mice
- Window, Door and Baseboard Frames
- Areas such as garages, storage rooms, attics, and basements
- Garden edges or flower beds, to keep pests away from the outside
Reapply every 7 to 10 days or after rains if you use it outdoors.
Why does it work?
The secret lies in the intense aromas of rosemary, cinnamon, cloves, and vinegar, which affect the sensory system of rodents and insects. These animals avoid areas where they perceive odors that are aggressive to them, which forces them to leave those spaces or not enter.
