Get Rid of Mice With Peppermint Oil?

So you have some uninvited guests taking up residence in your home, huh? I don't mean your in-laws either - this article won't help you with that problem... I'm talking about those furry little mice that have made themselves comfortable in your humble abode. What you're looking for is a little home remedy that will help you get rid of mice and maybe even freshen up the house a bit... Who would have ever thought I'd recommend you use peppermint oil to take care of your rodent problems?

So what do you do with peppermint oil? First of all, Don't drink it! It's only liable to burn your throat - this is some potent stuff... and no, mice aren't going to drink it either - they're not that dumb...

Here's the premise: buy 100% peppermint oil, spread the scent around the house where the mice are, and poof - mice be gone. How does it work? The peppermint oil has such a strong scent that is overpowers their extremely sensitive noses. They can't stand it so they run away.

How do you do it? My recommendation is to apply the 100% peppermint oil (not peppermint extract or similar - it MUST say 100% PEPPERMINT OIL) to some cotton swabs. Then place the cotton swabs strategically around your house where the mice are believed to be (in cabinets, near the baseboards on the floor, etc...). That's it. Enjoy the fresh smell, and wait to live in a mouse free zone.

Now I haven't tried this on my own, but I know people who have, and they swear it's an effective way to get rid of mice.
