🔹 Colgate Toothpaste – Contains mint and fluoride, which have strong scents that rodents dislike. The cooling effect of menthol can irritate their senses, making them avoid the area.
🔹 Tomatoes – The acidic nature and strong scent of tomatoes can disturb the smell receptors of rodents, making it an effective natural repellent.
🔹 Other Ingredients (Optional) – Combining toothpaste and tomatoes with other natural deterrents like baking soda or garlic enhances the effectiveness.
