Mighty Mint Peppermint Oil Rodent Repellent Spray – Natural Indoor & Outdoor Control for Mice and Rats – Plant-Based, Extra-Strong Formula - 16 oz

So I have had a rat problem in my new car (cost of living in country QLD). Prior to blocking off the holes, I had little critters coming and causing very expensive damage. Well I used the spray (along with a trap) and put a camera in the vehicle. I have the rat on camera taking two sniffs and skuttling off on a number of occasions. Certainly seemed to work as when I stopped using it, the rat came back and I caught him in the trap. So far, so very good.

I have had mouse problems for 47 yrs and have some very funny stories. This year, however, was not so funny. We had a warm Spring and a very bad mouse problem. They were getting up on the tables, which meant that everything had to be taken apart and disinfected. In the past we've tried sonic devices (don't work), scent bags (don't work). Live traps are cruel because if you don't check them, not even a mouse deserves to stare to death. Now that we don't heave dogs we've tried poison outside, but you never know where the critters are going to die in your house, and if outside, anything that eats them are goners. We got to the point where we were going to hire a professional, until we found out that they wanted a 1 or 2 yr contract, to pretty much load traps and clean them out. The only thing that works is traps with peanut butter, and a little bacon grease smeared on top. After awhile they don't work. Either the mice get smart or you get too much human scent on the traps. This spray works if you use it in conjunction with other things like noticing where the droppings are and plugging the holes. A mouse can get through holes the size of 1/4". Smaller ones can get through a missing screw hole, as I found out. We put door trim under the garage into the house, and under the pantry door. We put copper mesh under all the registers. We close the doors at night where we think mice are getting through. Anyway, we spray the heck out of rugs, under doors, inside cabinets, especially under the sink, wherever we have found droppings. This spray is pleasant to humans and does not seem to do any damage to upholstery or rugs. Mice have poor eyesight but a very good sense of smell. (I should know, I raised them as pets when I was a weird kid.) The strong peppermint smell seems to throw them off and repel them. Unlike the scent bags, which don't last very long,

I bought this after noticing small droppings around baseboards and the pantry door. I needed a plant-based, pet-friendly option that wouldn't fill the house with harsh fumes. The 16 oz bottle seemed practical for targeting entry points indoors and on the porch, and the description promised a ready-to-use spray with peppermint oil. In daily use it is simple to apply. I spray along baseboards, entryways, and outdoor edges where I suspected entry. It is pre-mixed and easy to use-just spray and go. The aroma is fresh and minty but not overpowering, and it dries quickly so surfaces stay usable. It didn’t stain wood or fabrics, which I appreciated. What stood out most is how well this smells while still providing a sense of deterrence. It feels gentler than chemical sprays and works in both indoor and outdoor spots that get a lot of traffic. After a few weeks I noticed fewer sightings in the spray zones, which felt encouraging. A small note: I do need to reapply after heavy rain or on porous outdoor surfaces, and those unusually scent-sensitive might notice the peppermint for a little while. Overall this has delivered reliable, natural pest control in my home and I would consider it a solid five star option.

Smells great and it seems to work. Just have to remember to periodically use it.

Repellant seems to be working-still noticing mouse droppings, but number is lessening.
