How to totally get rid of rats anywhere
1. Onions
Apparently, rodents do not like the pungent smell of onions. That is because its smell is odious to them. All that is needed is a slice of onion placed inside their hole or where they usually pass. From now on, I will add onions to my weapons of mass destruction, they come in handy.
2. Ammonia
Ammonia smells like the urine of a possible predator and so is very irritating to the rats. I will need two spoons of detergent, a quarter glass of water and two cups of ammonia.
Then, I’ll mix all ingredients together and pour it in a spray bottle and spray it where rats frequently appear. Rats cannot stand the smell of ammonia and so it so chases them away.
3. Bay leaves
If you are joining me on the rat extermination mission, we can set a trap with leaves for them. They think bay leaf is food and so eat it with all joy.
However, it kills them eventually as they are highly poisonous for them. For the ambush, all we need are some dried bay leaves. We’ll grind them and sprinkle them on the suspected area they come in through and get satisfactory results. This can be done every 5-7 days for best results.
4. Baking soda solution
Baking soda is known to keep rats away from the area they like to frequent. Mix 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of sugar or powdered chocolate and 1 cup of baking soda together.
The sugar or chocolate will attract the rats and the baking soda will soon kill them after they have been consumed. Fill some jars with it to bait them and place them in suspected areas.
5. Peppermint essential oil
The beauty about this is that it has a beautiful smell. All we need to do is put some drops of peppermint oil on cotton balls and place them in the suspected rat-prone areas.
We will need to replace the cotton balls after 5-7 days depending on the quantity of oil we put on it. Alternatively, we can make use of citronella and castor oil or grow mint plants around the boundaries of our home.
6. DETERGENT SPRAY
Suffocate roaches with a mixture of water and soap. This method is highly effective on German roaches and crickets. To use, combine 4 tablespoons of liquid detergent with 4 cups of water. Spray as needed where roaches hide.
7. NEEM
This medicinal plant interrupts the cockroach life cycle. It reduces the rate of reproduction and reduces the number of fertile eggs. Crush a handful of neem leaves to make a paste. Put the leaves in 4 cups of water and fill a spray bottle. Spray in corners, cracks and damp areas..
8. CHEAP WINE SPRAY
This cheap wine spray will knock roaches dead within 24 hours. Simply pour the wine into a spray bottle and spray where you have seen cockroaches
9. Garlic

Spray all house corners, Garlic is pungent to them and they’ll flee your house.
10. Teabag
Tea bags repel rats, spiders, and other insects.
