I started using the products that use peppermint essential oil a few years ago. I mostly spray it outside around the entrances and vents and it really did get rid of moths, flies, ants, spiders, mice, and raccoons. And I only sprayed once a week maybe for a month at the most and then all of it was gone.

Cinnamon sticks in the windows, peppermint oil and diluted white vinegar to clean. Stash little nylon socks with baking soda and peppermint/citronella drops in things like cupboards, dark places the spiders stay.

Yes! Keeps ants away too! Eucalyptus oil works too.

Thank you very much for this info.

Please make sure to keep peppermint and certain other essential oils away from your cats as they lack an enzyme in their livers to break them down. It can kill them if it is ingested or gets on their skin - even causing problems if there is too much in the air from a diffuser. Maybe that is why it keeps mice away. Maybe they lack the same enzyme.

Abner of Oakland. Here in the Compound we have a rat problem. We have had to teach our cats to walk in pairs for their own protection.

Very funny and uplifting . keep the good work .

We had a flea infestation in our house, and after trying chemical methods, which was hard on an allergic family, my sister told me how she’d covered the floors with fresh mint, left it for 24 hours, then cleaned it out, and the fleas were gone. We had friends with an overgrowth of peppermint, so we tried it and it worked. Vacuuming up the leaves filled the house with a beautiful minty fragrance, which had the effect of lifting our spirits.

Use clear cleaning ammonia.....lace the floor areas where the rodents tend to come around. Some people cannot take the smell but it definitely keeps mice away. Unfortunately, my sense of smell was compromised because I used ammonia on the floors for years when I used to live in the New York City housing projects.

Can you place ammonia on cotton balls inside small containers in corners? Cheaper than peppermint oil.

Thanks for the great information on mice I will truly get me some when I go to town and follow your instructions thank you and have a blessed day

I tried this and it works!!! For the rats, I use a dropper and saturate cotton balls. I haven't seen any rats in my house, but I hear them in the attic. After placing the cotton balls in the corners and sticking them up in the ceiling vents, they disappeared overnight! In the past, I have stuffed brillo pads in areas on the exterior of my house that may be big enough for them to squeeze through. Those suckers have occasionally pulled the brillo pads out since they can't chew them, but when I put peppermint oil on them and stuck them back in, they haven't touched them. For the spiders, I use the spray bottle method. I haven't seen a spider since I did this, but I did see a dead waterbug in the downstairs guest bathtub. I will forever use this remedy! Peppermint oil isn't necessarily cheap, but if you're into chemical and pesticide free as well as cruelty free methods, this is the best that I've found.

Peppermint is also good for wasps or villa oil. Lavender plants or lemon oil or orange peel keep cats out of your garden 😁😂👍

peppermint deters but will only keep them away from a small area like cupboards and has to be applied every few days. I doubt tea is stronger than essential oils so likely would not be as effective.

Baby powder works too!! They don't like the smell. Plus, I have 2 cats too!

Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing your life story. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?

10-15 drops peppermint oil into a spray bottle of water. Repeat weekly. Or Brew 4 teabags into a spray bottle of water.. leaving the teabags in. Replace every four weeks. Or A few teaspoons each of cinnamon and lemon oil, to a spray bottle of water. Repeat weekly.

Peppermint tea water without the bags will maybe last a few days. If you can't smell it, neither will they. Unless you add essential oils to that tea water. Or like spraying your house every 2-3 days. My unprofessional assumption only. :-)

Black widows will not leave their home unless you tear it down. Keep their web up. You will always know where they are and they do capture other bugs. When you do finally want to get rid of her, you must spray them DIRECTLY!. The spray (Raid) will only kill if it is ON them. Do it at night when they are out. After a while, you will not have any more

If I had a farm I would have so many cats.

I can say that I have tried every known “repellant” for mice. Farm houses and barns are impossible to eliminate them. Poison, traps, cats work the best. Someone told me to use dryer sheets a couple of years ago for the farm trucks and equipment. Well at least it helps cover up the mouse pee smell a bit, but by no means do they avoid them. I found nests made out of them!

The issue I have with poisons is the mouse will go somewhere you can't get to and die. Or it gets caught by the pet and the pet ingests the mouse getting poisoned 2nd hand. I prefer sticky traps. They aren't humane. But the live traps just leave them to return.

I’ll try this thank you

Wintergreen and eucalyptus work fairly well, but the smell disappears quickly. So it constantly has to be redone.

Does these methods have effects on pets, as lots of the smells mentioned they don’t like.. wouldn’t this impact their sensory system.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Tea tree oil is also effective, and works on other pests as well.

We always had spiders in our roadside mailbox, and I noted they were finding a good food source from ants going in there. Recalling that placing cinnamon (powder) in a seasonally ant prone kitchen corner had banished them, I put a small amount of the cinnamon in the back and shelf edges in the mailbox. No more ants, no more spiders. Ants also hate marigolds, even if they’re in a spot in the garden and you temporarily plant a couple marigold plants, they pack up and leave immediately! LOL!

It reminds me of a friend’s dog that used to get hold of packages of xylitol sweetened chewing gum, and eat much if it, unfortunately it got sick and died. Cinnamon seems innocuous, but it’s good to consider that serious potential. Our mailbox is up on a post, and a dog would not be able to get up to it, let alone fit in it.
