“Drive Rats Away for a Century in a Day”: Nikhil Saini Shares Simple Home Remedy Using 2-Rupee Camphor

Rats are more than just a nuisance—they pose serious health risks and can damage household property. From spreading diseases like the plague to gnawing on electrical wires and kitchen appliances, the havoc caused by these rodents is a common concern for every home.

Content creator Nikhil Saini recently shared an easy, low-cost home remedy to keep rats away without harming them, claiming it can work “for 100 years” if used regularly.

Preparing the Solution
Saini’s remedy uses easily available ingredients: camphor (worth just 2 rupees), salt, vinegar, and antiseptic liquid. To prepare the solution, take half a glass bottle, add camphor powder, a spoonful of salt, 2–3 caps of vinegar, and 2 caps of antiseptic liquid. Close the bottle and shake well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Why It Works
The effectiveness of this method lies in the strong odor of camphor and antiseptic liquid. Rats have a highly sensitive sense of smell and tend to avoid sharp, pungent odors. Traditionally, camphor has been used to repel insects and pests, and this solution relies on the same principle.

How to Use
Once the solution is ready, soak small pieces of cotton in it. Place these cotton pieces wherever rats are spotted in the house. The intense smell acts as a natural deterrent, helping to drive them away quickly. For best results, the remedy should be reapplied regularly, as its effectiveness diminishes once the odor fades. Weekly application is recommended to ensure rats do not return.

Claim of Long-Term Effectiveness
While Saini claims that this method can keep rats away for “100 years,” he emphasizes that regular use is essential. Consistent application ensures the strong odor continues to repel rodents effectively.

Additional Tips
Along with using this home remedy, maintaining a clean environment is crucial. Rats are attracted to unclean spaces and leftover food, so keeping the house tidy is an essential step in long-term prevention.
