While Vick’s may act as a deterrent, it’s essential to remove food sources and potential nesting materials.
Seal all food in airtight containers.
Keep counters and floors clean of crumbs and spills.
Remove clutter and stored items that could serve as hiding spots.
4. Monitor Effectiveness
Check the treated areas to see if rodent activity decreases.
If the scent fades, refresh it with a new application.
Adjust placement or add more treated cotton balls if needed.
Note on Limitations
Vick’s VapoRub is not a guaranteed method for eliminating mice and rats. It may help deter them from certain areas, but it’s unlikely to completely eradicate a severe infestation.
For large infestations, consider combining natural deterrents like Vick’s with other measures (traps, sealing entry points) or consult a professional pest control service.
Conclusion
Using Vick’s VapoRub as a deterrent is an easy, low-cost option that may help keep mice and rats at bay. By strategically placing the product in areas where rodents are active, and maintaining a clean, sealed environment, you may find it a helpful addition to your pest control efforts.
