🐭 How to Get Rid of Mice & Rats: The BugMD Method

Mice and rats are cautious, clever, and fast breeders — which means once they find food, warmth, or shelter in your home, they can take over quickly.
The key to getting rid of them (and keeping them gone) is creating a strong scent barrier, removing attractants, and blocking entry routes.Here’s the simple 3-step method thousands of BugMD customers use for long-term rodent control:

Step 1: Repel Rodents from the Inside (Create Scent Barriers)

Use Vamoose Pouches

Rodents rely on their extremely sensitive noses to navigate and locate food.
Vamoose uses concentrated peppermint and plant oils to overwhelm their senses, creating zones they instinctively avoid.

Place Vamoose pouches in:

Kitchens & pantries
Living rooms & closets
Attics & basements
Garages & sheds
Behind appliances
Anywhere you’ve seen or heard activity

For extra protection, place additional pouches near holes, crevices, or recently sealed entry points.
The stronger the scent barrier, the less likely rodents are to return.

👉 Think of Vamoose as a “Do Not Enter” zone for rodents.

Step 2: Remove What Attracts Them (Supports the scent barrier and prevents new rodents from entering.)

Once the scent barrier is in place, make your home as unattractive as possible to rodents:

Store dry food in thick plastic or metal containers
Clean crumbs & spills immediately
Don’t leave pet food out overnight
Take out kitchen trash daily
Reduce clutter like cardboard, fabric, or newspapers rodents can nest in

These actions reinforce the work Vamoose is already doing.

Step 3: Protect Entry Points With a Strong Scent Barrier

Use Rodent Relief Around High-Risk Areas

Rodents often slip in through cracks, corners, and tiny gaps you may not even notice — especially around doors, vents, garage edges, and foundation lines.
Rodent Relief creates a powerful scent barrier in these sensitive zones, discouraging mice and rats from getting anywhere near the inside of your home.

Spray Rodent Relief around:

Door frames
Window ledges
Vents and utility openings
Garage entrances
Foundation cracks and siding edges
Any spot where you’ve seen signs of rodent activity

This peppermint-powered formula is perfect for areas where you can’t place a Vamoose pouch but still need reliable protection.
It creates a strong “stay away” zone that helps stop rodents before they sneak inside.

👉 Vamoose protects the inside. Rodent Relief protects the perimeter.

Quick Tip!

Rodents are creatures of habit and follow the same paths every night. They also hate strong scents like peppermint, which is why natural repellents work so well.

Common
Types of Rodents

Knowing which rodent you're dealing with helps you tackle the problem more effectively:

House Mice

Small gray or brown rodents with large ears. Most common indoor pest, found year-round in homes.

Norway Rats

Large brown rats with thick bodies. Often found in basements and lower levels. Very destructive.

Roof Rats

Sleek black or gray rats with long tails. Excellent climbers that nest in attics and upper areas.

5 Places Rodents
Hide in Your Home

Mice and rats are nocturnal, so you might not see them during the day. But they leave behind plenty of evidence. Here's where they love to hide:

Inside walls and ceilings

You'll hear scratching or scurrying sounds at night

Attics and basements

Dark, undisturbed areas perfect for nesting

Behind appliances

Warmth from stoves and refrigerators attracts them

In cabinets and pantries

Easy access to food sources.

Garage and storage areas

Boxes and clutter provide ideal hiding spots

A More Effective
Approach

While prevention helps, rodents are determined and resourceful. Even homes with good habits can face rodent problems, especially when temperatures drop and rodents seek warmth indoors.

Here's the bottom line: the most effective approach combines prevention with proven repellents that make your home uninviting to rodents. That's where BugMD comes in - plant-powered formulas using concentrated natural oils that rodents can't stand, but are completely safe for your family and pets.

Did you know?

Mice can have up to 10 litters per year with 6-8 babies each time. That's why catching just one or two doesn't solve the problem - you need to stop them from entering in the first place.
