Product Review: Mice+Peppermint Oil=Mice Be Gone!
Summary: 5 Stars
It has gotten cold and I happened to be cleaning my kitchen thoroughly when I noticed droppings around the stove and the counter. I was EXTREMELY VEXED! I am very in fear of mice. I was gonna call the owner of my house and let her know I was moving! During the call, she convinced me to use peppermint oil around the house. It worked! I check everyday and havent seen a dropping! I put dabs of the stuff on cotton balls. I put them everywhere...in cabinets, drawers, under my bed, behind the refrigerator. Its a very low price to get rid of the problem! Who would of thought!?Product Review: My husband's Crohn's disease has been under control since using Peppermint Oil!

Summary: 5 Stars
I am using this product for pest (mice) control as our building is under construction and this has recently become an issue.
NOTE: It must be 100% pure Peppermint Oil - which Now Foods Peppermint oil is.
The peppermint oil works really, really well for me on the cotton balls but here is what I suggest:
Be careful how much you use on the cotton ball because it is very, very, very strong. Test your tolerance for it by using a tip of the bottle on the cotton ball at first and increasing it if you can tolerate it because remember you are using it in many places throughout the house. Make sure you refresh the cotton balls often as needed. I put it in every closet, behind the stove - in the bathroom on the far corner of the tub and I even put it on my countertops in the beginning.
I have read you can also make a spray from it but I have not done this as I live in an apartment. DO NOT SPRAY IN THE HOME!! because there is no way to remove it once you spray - but with cotton balls you can just pick them up to remove them if they are too strong and even then the smell can linger. As I said be careful with the cotton balls as well. You can make the Peppermint Oil spray starting with 2 teaspoons (or 2 tablespoons - sorry I'm not sure which - try 2 teaspoons first) to one cup water in a spray gun. re-spray areas every 6 months. Apparently mice are allergic to peppermint.
Peppermint Oil is pet friendly and what I like about it is that it is a DETERRENT - not a trap. My neighbor uses traps but I firmly believe this can attract and re-attract the mice because of the food you put in them and I believe that even if you catch them the food scent lingers. I think this attracts them as well where Peppermint Oil absolutely repels them.
I am so relieved that I found this solution and that is has been working so well. Eventually when the construction stops maybe I will not have a problem but as long as I have the peppermint oil - I am very happy with the results - NO MICE!

I love this oil you can use in in your warmer and you can smell it all around the house, I use a cotton ball and put it in my vaccum bag and it works great..makes the house smell great.You can use it on cotton balls and put in your closet or anywhere you want to refresh the air.Don't ever put on wood..use a small dish and place the cotton ball on it.Product Review: Peppermint Oil

After much web research to find a peaceful means to an end, we purchased the peppermint oil to chase away the rodents that seem to find my storage container a warm n cozy home. It didn't work (darn). So, I went to traps - didn't want to do that, but not much choice.
