Episode Details

Summer’s here, and rats are on the prowl—looking for food and cozy spots to nest. Ignoring the signs can lead to a full-blown infestation with health risks. But there’s a kitchen secret: garlic. That pungent smell we love? It’s a rat’s nightmare. Its sulfur compounds overwhelm their senses and signal danger, making them steer clear. Just drop cloves near entry points—basements, garages, doorways—and pair it with cayenne, vinegar, or oil. Keep your home tidy, seal gaps, and clean up spills fast. Garlic’s cheap (22 pence per bulb) and powerful—your DIY rodent defense just got a lot easier.
