✅ How to Use Peppermint Effectively at Home
Grow Peppermint Indoors or Outdoors
Keep in small pots near windows, doors, or other entry points.
Crush a few leaves occasionally to release the scent.
Good for low-maintenance indoor use (it likes sun and moist soil).
Use Peppermint Oil for Stronger Results
Mix 10–15 drops of peppermint essential oil with water in a spray bottle.
Spray along baseboards, corners, under sinks, and entry points.
Refresh every few days for lasting effect.
Cotton Ball Method
Soak cotton balls in peppermint oil.
Place them in cupboards, under furniture, behind appliances.
⚠️ Important Limitations
Live peppermint plants alone are not strong enough to drive away a full infestation.
Mice and insects may adapt if the scent fades or if food sources remain.
Not all pests are equally affected — for example, roaches or fleas may not be as deterred.
Best used as a preventive tool, not a cure for an existing problem.
✅ Best Use:
Grow peppermint plants + use peppermint oil spray regularly + maintain cleanliness (no crumbs, sealed food, fixed leaks) for the best all-around natural pest control.
