**Get Rid of Rats & Mice in Your House with Colgate & Tomato Magic: A Simple, Natural Solution**
One surprisingly effective and natural remedy involves using **Colgate toothpaste and tomatoes**—two common household items. This simple combination can help drive rats and mice out of your home without the need for dangerous chemicals or traps. Let’s explore how you can use this “magic” duo to get rid of rodents in your house.
### **Why Does Colgate & Tomato Work?**
– **Colgate Toothpaste**: Toothpaste, particularly Colgate brand, contains strong minty scents such as peppermint or menthol. These smells are highly irritating to rats and mice, as they have an extremely sensitive sense of smell. The minty odor overwhelms their senses and makes them uncomfortable, prompting them to seek refuge elsewhere. The strong scent also helps mask the familiar smells of food or nesting areas that attract rodents.
– **Tomatoes**: Tomatoes, particularly the smell of their skins and juice, have a powerful and pungent aroma that rodents find offensive. Rats and mice dislike strong smells like tomatoes, which further encourages them to stay away from the treated areas.
This remedy is simple to make and use. All you need are two basic ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen or bathroom.
