Give rats a scent they won't stay around
Rats in the kitchen, the pantry or under the bed are a daily worry. Spray the routes they use with a plant-extract blend and keep them moving on.
Three plant extracts, one strong scent
- Scent rats avoid
Chilli, peppermint and lemon essences give the spray a strong, sharp odor, and that odor is the working part of the formula. Spray it along the routes rats travel and the scent sits exactly where they walk.
- Aim it where they walk
The trigger head throws a fine mist that settles along skirting boards, gaps and the edges of storage shelves. You can treat a tight corner without soaking the surface around it.
- No poison, nothing to handle
The label says non-toxic and safe, and the formula is plant-based. Nothing needs to be set out, checked or emptied, and there is no poison bait for a toddler or a pet to reach.
Spray the routes rats actually use
- 1Clear food and wipe surfaces
Move food out of the spray zone and wipe the counter or shelf. The spray is for walls, edges and gaps, never for food contact.
- 2Mist the routes
Work along skirting boards, under-sink gaps and the edges of pantry shelves. Keep the nozzle close to the surface and move slowly along each line.
- 3Seal what you can see
Stuff visible holes with steel wool and filler, then spray around them. A scent will not stop a rat that can squeeze through an open gap.
- 4Ventilate and keep kids out
Open a window and keep children and pets out of the room until the spray dries. Store the bottle out of reach between uses.
- 5Reapply on a schedule
Vacuum the gaps first with one of the vacuum attachments, then spray again. Storage rooms work well with a weekly pass, and kitchen edges after the evening clean.

Questions and answers
The label says non-toxic and safe, and the product is made for households with mothers and babies. Treat that as a reason to be careful, not a reason to skip the basics. Spray edges and gaps, keep food and dishes out of the spray zone, ventilate, and keep kids and pets out of the room until the mist has dried. Store the bottle out of reach.
The label gives no fixed duration, so let the room set the schedule. Storage rooms and warehouse edges get a weekly pass. Kitchen edges get a spray after the evening clean. If you find fresh droppings between passes, spray sooner and check the gaps first.
The formula works on smell, so the chilli, peppermint and lemon odor sits on the routes rats use. It does not block a hole. Seal visible gaps with steel wool and filler, spray around them, and the scent has less room to be ignored.
Expect a strong smell indoors, especially in a closed room. Open a window, spray the baseboards from a short distance, and let the room air out before people sleep in it.
No. Keep the spray off food and dishes. Wipe prep surfaces clean and aim for walls, skirting boards, shelf edges and the floor beside stored bags. Keep the mist away from anything you will eat.
The product is built and marketed for rats. Check the label before you rely on it for mice. For mice, start with sealing entry points, and look at our pest repellers for a second line of defence.
