We love our Peppermint essential oil! It has a penetrating, fresh camphoraceous, minty aroma that is mentally revitalizing and invigorating. A wonderful aide that helps to soothe nervous stress and help you stay alert, Peppermint has many uses around the house as well!

With the temperature getting colder here in Minnesota, we think it’s worth mentioning that Peppermint essential oil is known to help deter those mice, ants, and spiders looking for a warm home for winter. An interesting fact is that spiders use their legs to smell and they are sensitive to Peppermint essential oil when sprayed around their favorite hangout spots. And mice, who rely heavily on their sense of smell, tend to be turned off by essential oils. Because mice seem to follow each other’s pheromone trails, scents like Peppermint confuse them.

Here’s a simple remedy. Blend about 30 drops of Peppermint essential oil per ounce of water in a spray bottle and spray where you think would be most helpful. You can also place cotton balls with 4-5 drops of Peppermint on them around your home in places where you need it. Be careful of furniture and woodwork.
