Mouse Repellent

Looking for a way to repel mice from your home? Look no further than my non tox way!
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Total: 15 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon sticks, broken into pieces
  • 1 tablespoon whole cloves
  • 1 tablespoon chili flakes
  • 2-3 whole star anise pods
  • Small muslin or cotton drawstring bags

Instructions 

Prepare the Spice Mix

  • In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon sticks, cloves, chili flakes, and star anise. Stir to mix the ingredients evenly.

Fill the Bags

  • Spoon the spice mixture into the muslin or cotton bags, filling each about halfway. Tie each bag securely to prevent any spills.

Place the Bags Strategically

  • Place these anti-mouse bags near any potential entry points, such as doorways, vents, or small gaps. For extra protection, also put them inside cupboards, closets, or anywhere you suspect mice might enter or hide.

Refresh Every 1-2 Months

  • Over time, the scent of the spices may fade. Replace or refill the bags every 1-2 months to keep the scent strong and effective.
