Squirrel in your attic

[beerthief]

I have been reading a lot of posts about tree rats in the attic . THIS WILL WORK 100% and fast .

go on line and buy a small bottle of 100% pure peppermint oil , Not the stuff you buy at the food store in baking sect.. put a FEW drops of oil on cotton balls and distribute around attic . USE rubber gloves . your eyes will be irritated which is just what it does to the Squirrels and they run out fast . Be careful not to use to many or the house will smell so a few will do . 6 or 8 in the avg. attic

A 4 oz bottle will last a few years last several years

Good tip. I might try it with some putty and slingshot some of it into those ugly squirrel nests that pop up from time to time.

Works under your car's hood too if they're chewing on wires! (Learned that the hard way!)

As long as you don't mind the pellet hole's . I could hear them chasing each other but when i went up no sign of them, i put a trap outside loaded with peanut butter and one came out the trap lured him in ,then carried the trap to a safe place and shot him "gangland style " then the other came out sat still for me , how nice .



I have told many city dwellers this remedy and it really gets great results and they do not come back . and if you install in the early fall , no problems all year.

I wonder if that will work for mice and rats. We've had problems with them in the attic of the garage.
