Conventional methods of pest control (poisonous baits, ultrasound,
physical facilities of repellent) are not always effective. In addition
to that, the synthetic poison is only notorious
«chemistry», which causes harm to the environment. In
struggle against rodents one can use non-chemical means, given by the
nature.

 |
Autumn crocus
Blossoms in August and September. All parts of the plant are very
poisonous. To prepare the bait, mix thoroughly 1 kg of food which mice
prefer (cereals, flour) with 20 grams of Autumn crocus' seeds. And
spread it in the room where presence of mice was observed. |
 |
Crystal tea ledum
Its leaves contain many essential oils and have strong stupefying
smell. Spread Crystal tea ledum's leaves near the entrances and stuck
into the holes. If mice are inside the hole they leave it, if they are
not, they will not return in the hole. |
 |
Tory weed
(Popular names - «dog tongue and cat's soap»).
Mice can not bear the smell of Tory weed and when feel it, leave the
room. Fresh or scalded plants should be spread in the holes. You can
also hang them in a little distance from the floor. If you put Tory
weed in the compost, heap of leaves or stack of swath, this will
frighten voles and they will not nest in winter time. The seeds of Tory
weed also may
be used as means of frightening. 1-2 seeds of Tory weed stick on the
skin of mice or rat this will make them leave. For the cleanness of the
skin for them is more important than the cellar full of vegetables. So
they leave in search for the other place, without the seeds of Tory weed. |
 |
Burdock
The seeds of the burdock are also helpful. One should put them into mice's hole. |
 |
European elder
Grows in Scandinavia, Western Europe, North America, and Asia
Minor. Its leaves and barks have an odor unpleasant for people and
absolutely unbearable for mice. To protect the fruit seedlings from
rodents, their trunks should be tied with branches of the European
elder. To protect perennial plant, particularly bulbar, one should put
branches of the European elder under shelter material. |
 |
Fritillary
The bulbs of fritillary have sharp smell, unbearable for
small rodents. Therefore, the mice bypass the plots planted with these
plants. |
 |
Mint
Mice can not stand the smell of mint. That is why one
should spread dried bunches of stalks of this plants in the locality.
Also in the place where
mice appear one can spread stalks of hop, coriander, common wormwood,
dried chamomile. The extract of common needles is also used. |
Untried methods
Some propose to rear "rat
wolves." Several rats are caught with rat-traps and put into a deep
metal can so that they can not get out. No food. Rats eat each other,
and finally survive only one which learns how to kill the rats of the
same species as it is. No food again. When the "rat wolf ' releases, it
starts to kill congeners. But it's not for long. Rats quickly recognize
the betrayer and eventually kill it while saving the clan of
death.
The literature describes
the way that Zambian farmers use for more than one hundred years. Add
beer in the bowl with milk and leave it in the room. In the morning all
rats die.
If you set on fire a mouse's tail, mice will leave. |
