There is a rule of thumb when taking measures to drive mice out of the environment: you must not block all escape routes of the mice. Therefore, creating an escape route for mice is the way you can chase mice away. The following simple ways will definitely help you chase mice away effectively:
Using fuel oil
You can easily find a little fuel oil at a motorcycle repair shop or a similar place. This type of oil has an unpleasant smell that scares mice. Pouring fuel oil into places where mice often go and live will scare them away.
Moreover, if mice touch this type of oil, they will have to run away to clean it. Ingesting fuel oil will cause rats to be poisoned and di:e.
Use crushed celery: In celery contains sodium which can cause rats to have bloating. If you put a little crushed celery and a bowl of water next to the rat’s hole, they will eat the celery and drink the water because they are dehydrated. The potatoes will expand in the stomach causing the rats to di:e.
