Having a rodent problem in the home is not a pleasant experience and can be expensive to deal with too. Keeping mice away with peppermint oil can be the answer to expensive pest control bills. Peppermint oil can be purchased at most health food stores, as a spray or as an essential oil. If using oil, place about 5 drops of peppermint essential oil on a small piece of cloth or on a cotton ball. One of the frequently asked question is does peppermint oil repel mice?

Positioning

Do not overlook even the tiniest of holes. Mice can enter though a hole no bigger than the point of a pencil.

It is a good idea to fill any gaps around washing machine, sinks and dryer pipes with wire wool. If using a peppermint spray, squirt it along skirting boards. You will need 20 to 25 drops of peppermint essential oil in a spray bottle with half a pint of it.

Getting rid

How to get rid of mice is a hot topic, mainly because the price of hiring pest control people is escalating. Added to this is the fact that modern life has created an environment that is compatible for rodents. Tons of food is thrown away every day in developed countries. If you don’t deter the mice immediately then they will nest and you will have a real problem which will almost certainly require pest control professionals. Keeping mice away with peppermint oil may be the solution.

Best method

It may not be the most effective way to exterminate them (poison, for example) but as a deterrent, its use has proved effective. One of the problems with using this essential oil is that instructions for use can be a little vague: one reason being that it is difficult if you are using peppermint essential oil on cotton balls or cloths to know when you need to replace them.

Making up a spray will overcome this problem. You can use it every day without doing any harm to your home. The trick is guessing where the mice are entering the house. As with any other product (cleaning materials for example) keep the peppermint oil away from children.
