Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 On some group there was made mention of an oil that would keep RATS away. I have a dilemma with this. I know the one way to do it is the sticky paper they stick to. For some reason I hate to do that. I have to do something though. In fact today I will get poison, but would just like them to get out of the garage. We did not know it, but they were evidently living in some Ivy and we cut some of it out and here they appeared. I read some place about an oil keeping them away, and I think it was pepperment. thank you sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hey Sharon, I'm like you. Ants, spiders, rodents -- just can't kill the critters. It's peppermint and spearmint oil that does the trick. Check out these cool sprays >>> http://tinyurl.com/8kke3 My friend Marti was putting the oils on corn cobs to scatter throughout the barn. Apparently it works like a charm! Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 It certainly is not an oil, but we raise livestock, so we have trouble from time to time. I use Just One Bite. Break off a small piece of the bar, and that is it for the rats and mice. Will not hurt the dogs and cats.
