Peppermint Oil Mouse Repellent: Does It Work?

How long does peppermint oil repel mice?
It can deter mice for a few days per application, but regular reapplication is needed as the scent fades.

Can I use other mint oils instead of peppermint?
Spearmint or wintermint may work but are less effective due to lower menthol content.

Why are mice still in my home after using peppermint oil?
Mice may have adapted to the scent, or you’re missing entry points or food sources. Combine with traps or call professionals.

Is peppermint oil safe for pets?
Yes, when diluted and used sparingly, but keep pets away from concentrated oil to avoid irritation.

How do I know if I have a serious mouse infestation?
Frequent droppings, gnaw marks, or noises in walls indicate a larger problem requiring professional intervention.
