While Vick’s VapoRub is primarily known for its use as a mentholated topical ointment for colds and congestion, some people claim that its strong, distinct scent can help deter mice and rats. The menthol and camphor in Vick’s VapoRub are believed to be unpleasant to rodents, potentially making it a simple, non-toxic deterrent. Here’s how it can be used:
1. Identify Problem Areas
Determine where mice or rats are entering or frequenting your home. Common spots include:
Gaps near doors and windows.
Cracks in walls or floors.
Areas around pipes, vents, or cables.
Storage spaces or cabinets where food is kept.
2. Apply Vick’s VapoRub at Entry Points
Dab a small amount of Vick’s VapoRub onto cotton balls, pieces of cloth, or directly onto surfaces.
Place these treated cotton balls or cloths near suspected entry points or areas where rodents have been seen.
Reapply regularly to maintain the strong menthol scent.
3. Combine with Good Sanitation Practices
