A rat or ant infestation is the last thing we need, but if you find yourself in the struggle, you might be wondering how to kill pests without harming your pets

Spotting rat droppings or ants crawling around in your home or in your garden can be worrying, as not only do they spread diseases, but if not dealt with quickly it could lead to infestation.

However, rather than reaching for the poison at the first sight of pests, home owners should consider the dangers posed to their pets and other wildlife in the area. There are more natural ways to deter pests, by creating a barrier with scents that pests dislike. Here are some examples: Toby said: “Citronella is another essential oil which can be used to keep rats away. Its lemony scent can disorient the rodents and disguise their tracks.

Toby said: “Eucalyptus oil is another pungent ingredient you can use to keep rats away. Use in a spray or soak into cotton wool balls and leave where the rodents spend time and hopefully, they will think twice and leave the area.”
