If you’re dealing with unwanted rodents in your home, onions can be a simple and natural way to keep them away—without using toxic chemicals. This kitchen staple has a strong smell that mice and rats find unbearable, making them leave your home for good.
Why Onions Work Against Mice and Rats
✔ Strong odor – The pungent smell of onions overwhelms rodents, forcing them to flee.
✔ Natural repellent – Unlike chemical poisons, onions are a safe and eco-friendly deterrent.
✔ Easy to use – No special preparations required—just use a fresh onion!
How to Use Onions to Repel Rodents
- Peel and slice a fresh onion into halves or quarters.
- Place onion pieces in areas where you’ve seen mice or rats (near entry points, behind appliances, dark corners).
- Replace every 2-3 days, as onions dry out and lose their strong smell.
Extra Tips for Best Results
- Seal entry points – Prevent rodents from coming back by blocking gaps and holes.
- Keep food stored properly – Mice are attracted to food sources, so store grains and snacks in sealed containers.
- Combine with other natural repellents like peppermint oil or bay leaves for added protection.
With just one onion, you can send mice and rats running—no traps, no poison, just a simple, natural solution! 🏠🐭🚫
