Tired of spending money on ineffective and harmful poisons? What if the solution to your rat problems is already in your kitchen? Inexpensive, easy to use and 100% natural, onions could well become your best ally against these invasive rodents. Curious to know why and how to use them? Here is everything you need to know to say goodbye to rats naturally.
Why are onions formidable against rats?
Rats, although intelligent and resilient, cannot stand the pungent smell of onions. Their powerful aroma, due to the sulfur compounds they contain, acts as a natural repellent. But that's not all: if they ingest them, onions can also be toxic to them.
Unlike chemicals, onions do not expose your home to hazardous substances. This natural method is not only effective, but also environmentally friendly and safe for your health.
How to Use Onions to Keep Rats Away
Materials Needed:
Fresh onions (white or red, depending on your preference)
A sharp knife or chopper
Simple steps to follow:
Prepare your onions: Cut them into small pieces to release their powerful aroma.
Arrange them strategically: Place the pieces in areas where you have observed rat activity (under furniture, near cracks or entry points).
Renew regularly: Replace the pieces every few days to maintain their effectiveness.
Maximize effectiveness with these tips
Block entry points: Inspect your home for openings that rats may be using. Seal them with steel wool or caulking.
Eliminate sources of attraction: Store your food in airtight containers and be sure not to leave crumbs or trash lying around.
Protect your pets: Be careful, onions are toxic to cats and dogs. Keep them out of their reach.
