About this product
Looking for a gentle way to keep rodents away from your home or garden? The Ratkil Rat & Mouse Repellent Sachets offer a natural solution for deterring unwanted visitors without resorting to harmful traps or poisons. These sachets contain a concentrated formula of peppermint oil, creating a pleasant aroma that effectively deters rats and mice from entering treated areas.
These sachets are ideal for use in sheds, garages, greenhouses, and small garden spaces where rodent activity is a concern. Each sachet is designed to last approximately 60-90 days, providing continuous protection for an area of up to 200 square metres. They’re particularly useful for preventative measures or supplementing existing pest control efforts.
The Ratkil sachets are formulated without harsh chemicals and are safe around pets and children. However, it's important to note that this product repels rather than eliminates an existing infestation; it’s best used as a deterrent in areas where rodent problems haven’t yet developed.
A pack of four sachets provides comprehensive coverage for approximately 150-200 square metres. Remember to place the sachets strategically throughout the target area for maximum effectiveness. For ongoing protection, simply replace the sachets when the scent diminishes – typically lasting around 60-90 days.
