Safety Tips
Never Leave a Burning Candle Unattended: Always keep an eye on the candle while it’s burning. Do not place it near flammable materials or leave it in areas accessible to children or pets.
Regular Application: For best results, reapply the peppermint oil and relight the candle as needed, especially after it has burned down significantly.
Ventilation: While peppermint oil is safe for humans, the strong scent might be overwhelming in closed spaces. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
Additional Uses of Peppermint Oil
Peppermint oil can also be used in other ways to repel rats:
Cotton Balls: Soak cotton balls in peppermint oil and place them in corners, drawers, or entry points to deter rodents.
Spray Solution: Mix peppermint oil with water in a spray bottle and use it to spritz around the perimeter of your home or near suspected entry points.
This DIY magic candle is a practical and natural solution to a common household problem. Not only does it keep rats at bay, but it also leaves your home smelling fresh and minty. Give it a try and enjoy a rodent-free environment with just a simple candle and the magic of peppermint oil.
