Keep Your Home Mice-Free With This Popular Essential Oil
By MARCO ROSSI
It might sound too easy to be true, but with some strategy and peppermint essential oil, you can push out the mice scurrying about your house.
Add a few drops of the minty essential oil onto a cotton ball, and put it in the places where you have seen mice or their droppings. Swap with a fresh cotton ball every few days.
Mice heavily rely on their sense of smell to forage and get around in the world, so putting something pungent in their path will make them run away.
If ingested, this solution is toxic to cats and dogs and is not the best choice for an infestation. You'll
need a professional exterminator for more than a random rogue mouse.
